About Broomhouse Nursing Home
Broomhouse Nursing Home in Chesterfield provides nursing care for adults, with qualified nurses on duty at all times. Much of our work is with younger adults and with people who have learning disabilities or autism alongside health needs that require nursing rather than residential care. That combination asks something particular of a home. Clinical care has to be reliable, so we pay close attention to medication, mobility, nutrition, skin, continence and pain, and we work closely with GPs, community teams and specialists rather than in isolation. At the same time, a person in their thirties or fifties is not living out a decline, they are living a life, and the home has to make room for that. We ask people what they want their days to contain and then try to make it happen, which is often more a matter of transport, equipment and patience than of anything clinical. Where somebody communicates differently, learning how is part of the job and not an optional extra. We record it so that the whole team responds in the same way, and we involve families and advocates to the extent the person wants. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking at nursing care in Derbyshire and want to know whether we could meet a particular need, please ask us plainly.
