About Victoria Chatsworth
Victoria Chatsworth is a nursing home in Hove providing nursing and personal care for older people whose health needs mean a registered nurse should be on hand at any hour. Many of the people we look after come to us after a hospital stay or a long period of declining health at home, often with more than one condition to manage. The early weeks are usually about comfort, eating properly and sleeping again, and only afterwards about anything more. Our nursing team manages wound care, support with medication, continence care and the monitoring of long term conditions, and we work closely with GPs and community specialists so that problems are handled early. We also think a nursing home should not feel like a ward. People have their own rooms with their own belongings, meals are cooked here with a proper choice, visitors come and go and staff are expected to have time to sit and talk. Where somebody is nearing the end of life, our focus is comfort, dignity and giving families the time and honest information they need. Respite and short stays can sometimes be arranged. If you are looking at nursing homes in Brighton and Hove, please telephone us and arrange to visit.
