About Victoria Highgrove
Victoria Highgrove is a nursing home in Hove providing nursing and personal care for older people whose health needs require a registered nurse to be on hand at any hour. Many of the people we care for arrive after a hospital stay or a long period of declining health at home, often with several conditions at once. The first weeks with us are usually about comfort, eating properly and sleeping again, and only then about anything more ambitious. 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 dealt with early. We also take the view that 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 making sure families have 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 for a relative, please telephone us and arrange to come and see.
