About Lewin House
Lewin House is a nursing home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, with qualified nurses on duty at every hour. We care for older people whose health needs have outgrown residential care or support at home, for people living with dementia and for adults with a learning disability or autism who need nursing support. Respite stays are available as well. Clinical care here covers medication, wound care, continence, nutrition, mobility and the monitoring of long term conditions, and we work alongside local health professionals so that changes are noticed early. Getting that right is what allows the rest of life to carry on, which is the purpose of doing it well. Residents bring their own furniture, photographs and habits and keep their own opinions about how a day should go. People choose when to get up, where to sit, what they want to eat and whose company they want. Where somebody needs longer for personal care or for moving about, they get it, because hurrying a person is neither dignified nor safe. We take communication seriously, particularly for residents who do not rely on speech, and we learn each person's own way of making themselves understood rather than expecting them to adapt to us. For residents living with dementia we keep the setting calm and predictable. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering nursing care for a relative, please arrange to visit and meet the team.
