About Blossom House
We are Blossom House, a residential care home on Hayling Island. We care for older people, including people living with dementia, people managing a mental health condition, and people with a physical disability. What we provide is residential care, and we are clear with families about the difference between that and nursing care so that nobody moves in somewhere that cannot meet their needs. Within it, we help with washing, dressing and moving about safely, support people with medication, provide proper meals and make sure nobody sits alone all day unless that is their choice. The home is run at the pace of the people living in it. Nobody is woken to suit a schedule, mealtimes bend around the person, and how the day is spent is a matter for the individual. Dementia care here rests on knowing the person. We learn about the work somebody did, the family they raised and the routines that steady them, and we use that rather than correcting them about the present. It makes for calmer days. Our staff know residents well enough to notice when somebody is quieter or eating less than usual, and we ring families early rather than waiting. Visitors are welcome whenever they want to come. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
