About The Royal Star & Garter Home
The Royal Star and Garter Home in High Wycombe provides nursing care for older people and younger adults, with qualified nurses on hand at every hour of the day and night. People generally come to us when health needs have grown beyond what can be managed elsewhere, and our task is to meet those needs properly while keeping daily life recognisable and worth having. We care for residents living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and people living with sight or hearing loss. Our nursing covers medication, mobility, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort, and we pay close attention to the quieter signals, appetite, mood and sleep, that usually come first. For residents living with dementia we keep the day familiar, work at each person's pace and treat distress as communication rather than as behaviour to be managed. Residents decide how their days run and relatives are welcome without formality. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Outstanding. We are proud of it and clear that it has to be earned again every week. Please come and visit on an ordinary day and ask us whatever you would like to know.
