About Nightingale Court
Nightingale Court is a residential care home in Kidderminster supporting older people, including many living with dementia, and we welcome respite guests. We want the home to feel like a place people live rather than a place people are put. Mornings are flexible, meals are proper meals, and residents choose how they spend their time, with company when they want it and quiet when they do not. Staff take trouble to learn what a person actually enjoys, which is usually more particular than any general programme would suggest. Dementia care is a large part of our work. We keep routines familiar, the building calm and the staffing consistent, and we go with the person rather than correcting them, because correcting someone rarely helps and often distresses them. When a resident is unsettled we look for the cause, whether that is pain, noise, tiredness, hunger or a need that has not been understood. Families are usually the best guide to what settles someone, and we ask. Respite stays give family carers a proper break, and the person staying receives exactly what a permanent resident receives. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you are looking at homes in this part of Worcestershire, please arrange a visit and come and see an ordinary day here.
