About Sycamore Heights Care Home
Sycamore Heights Care Home is a nursing home in Bedford. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, and we support people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We would rather tell you that here than have a family come across it later, and we would encourage anyone considering us to visit, meet the manager and ask whatever they want. What we can describe is how the home works. Qualified nurses are on duty at all hours, so medication, skin care, nutrition, pain and mobility are managed on site and changes in health are picked up early rather than after they have become serious. Alongside that, we work at the ordinary parts of the day, because being properly cared for and having a day worth getting up for are not the same thing. For people living with dementia we keep the rhythm of the day and the faces around it as familiar as we can. Please come and look round if you are considering nursing care locally.
