About Lakeside Nursing Home
Lakeside Nursing Home is in the London borough of Croydon. We care for older people who need nursing support, including people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are available. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means people whose health is genuinely complicated can stay with us as things change, rather than being moved on at the point familiarity counts for most. Wounds, pain, continence, nutrition, medication and safe movement are all managed properly here, and a good deal that might otherwise involve hospital does not have to. Because our residents have very different needs, we plan care person by person. What settles somebody with dementia is not what helps somebody living with a long standing mental health condition, and one routine across everybody suits nobody in particular. We also guard against clinical care quietly turning a person into a schedule. People choose when they get up, what they wear, what is on the plate and how the afternoon goes. We knock, we explain what we are about to do, and we wait to be told it is all right. Dementia in particular asks for a familiar day and for us to look for the reason behind distress rather than trying to calm it away. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall, and we keep asking residents and relatives what needs our attention.
