About Great Wheatley Nursing Home
Great Wheatley Nursing Home is in Rayleigh, Essex. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, including people living with dementia, and we take respite admissions alongside permanent places. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means we can look after people whose health needs are significant or changing, support people coming out of hospital, and provide care at the end of life properly and unhurriedly, rather than moving somebody on when their needs increase. It also means families do not have to worry about what happens overnight. Clinical care is only part of the job. What people notice day to day is whether their relative is comfortable, clean, eating well, listened to and answered when they call, and whether the people looking after them know their name and their story. Those are the standards we hold ourselves to. Dementia care runs through much of our work. We keep the environment calm, routines familiar and staffing as steady as we can manage, and we take time to learn each person's history so we can respond to the feeling behind a difficult moment rather than simply to the behaviour. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome at Great Wheatley at any reasonable hour, and we would far rather hear a concern early than have it saved up. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
