About Ridgeway Nursing Home
Ridgeway Nursing Home is in Belper, Derbyshire. Because we have qualified nurses on duty, we can care for people whose health needs are beyond what a residential home can safely manage, and we can usually carry on caring for somebody as those needs grow rather than asking them to move again. We care for older people who need nursing support, including many living with dementia and many with physical disabilities. We also support people living with sight or hearing loss and some younger adults whose needs are complex. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a limited period. Clinically our attention goes where it counts: medication, skin integrity, nutrition and hydration, pain, safe moving and handling, and acting early when a condition is changing. Where physical disability is part of the picture we think hard about equipment, seating and positioning, because those details decide how comfortable and how independent somebody can be. We work closely with the GP practice and the community health teams who support us. Beyond the clinical side, this is where people live. Residents keep their own rooms and their own belongings, choose when to get up and what to eat, and can have company or quiet as they prefer. Families are welcome at any reasonable hour. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit.
