About Greenslades Nursing Home

Greenslades Nursing Home in Exeter provides nursing care to older adults and to some younger adults, with respite stays available. We support residents living with dementia, residents with mental health needs, and residents with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. Having qualified nurses on duty at all hours means health needs are recognised and dealt with here, by people who already know the resident, rather than through a hospital admission that frail or confused people find distressing and often return from weaker than before. Families can also get a proper clinical answer when they ring rather than being asked to wait. Dementia care and mental health care both rest on the same foundation, which is knowing the person well enough to understand what they are telling you when they cannot say it plainly. A settled staff team, a routine that holds its shape, and time given rather than grudged achieve more than any particular technique. For residents with a sensory impairment the practical detail counts: good lighting, clear contrast, sitting where your face can be seen, and taking the time to be understood rather than hurrying past. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Anyone considering a nursing home for themselves or a relative is welcome to visit and see how the place runs on an ordinary day.
