Moving into a care home

Nightingale welcomes Jewish men and women over the age of 60 from every part of the community. We can also accommodate couples who may have differing care needs. Nightingale is split into three main sections; residential, nursing and dementia care.

 

The Home is able to care for around 200 individuals and each resident has their own private room with comfortable en-suite facilities, where the majority of care and support takes place.

 

Our approach is holistic and we are passionate about providing person-centred care. To this end, every resident benefits from a wellbeing assessment within one week of arriving, to ensure that the staff can understand each individual’s requirements. Nightingale strives to encourage independence and choice for every resident, ensuring that they become fully integrated in Nightingale life, on their own terms and according to their own needs. We also understand how essential it is to offer emotional and practical support to the families of our residents. We recognise the importance of settling a new resident into the Home as quickly as possible, both for their benefit and for the peace of mind of their loved ones.

 

Moving into a care home can be a difficult decision for residents and their families but we have the experience and resources to ensure that this transition is smooth. Our admissions procedure is streamlined and our Residents Services Department ensures a continuous flow of communication between the potential resident, their family and any professional agencies involved in the application process. It is not unknown for new residents to be admitted on the same day on which the first call for help is made by family or friends.
