About Evelyn Court Care Home
Evelyn Court Care Home is a nursing home in Ilkeston. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, we support people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We prefer to say that plainly and would encourage anyone considering us to visit, meet the manager and ask whatever they want. Admission is the part families find hardest, and we try to make it less bewildering than it often is. Before anybody moves in we want to know the ordinary details: how they take their tea, when they like to sleep, what they did for a living, who matters to them and what they find difficult. Those details usually decide whether somebody settles within a fortnight or spends months feeling like a visitor. Nurses are on duty day and night, so medication, skin care, nutrition and pain are handled here and changes in health are noticed early. We keep families informed rather than waiting to be asked. Please come and look round if you are considering nursing care locally.
