About Muscliff Nursing Home
Muscliff Nursing Home is in Bournemouth, caring for older people who need qualified nursing support alongside help with daily living. We also care for younger adults with nursing needs, support residents living with dementia, and look after people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available for shorter periods. Nurses on site mean that health needs can be met here as they change, so people are not moved on just when familiar faces matter most. We manage long term conditions, provide wound and continence care, and offer end of life care with dignity and as little upheaval as we can arrange. For all that, residents here are people rather than patients. They choose when to get up, where to spend their time, what they eat and how much company they want. Meals are cooked on the premises and we pay attention to what people actually enjoy. For residents with a sensory impairment we make sure conversation and information genuinely reach them, because being left out of your own day is a miserable thing. Our dementia care is built on knowing people properly, learning a person's history and habits so that reassurance feels familiar. Families are welcome through the day and are kept closely informed. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
