About Chestnut Court Care Home
Chestnut Court Care Home is a nursing home in Dagenham, providing nursing care for older people across Barking and Dagenham, including many people living with dementia. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are substantial and liable to change. Medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close monitoring that catches deterioration before it becomes an emergency are the ordinary content of our days. For families worn down by a run of hospital admissions, the end of that cycle is usually the first change they notice. Dementia nursing is most of what we do. People living with advanced dementia are often assumed to have stopped noticing, and in our experience that is simply wrong. Tone of voice registers. Being rushed registers. A familiar face registers. So we protect continuity of staffing, we talk to people rather than about them, and we take the time to learn what soothes a particular person when they are frightened, because it is rarely the same thing twice. Families carry a good deal of guilt about this stage of things, and part of our job is making the home somewhere they actually want to be rather than somewhere they visit out of duty. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Visit at a busy time, speak to the nurses on duty, and ask how the hard nights are handled.
