About St George's Nursing Home
St George's Witham Nursing Home provides nursing care in Witham, Essex, for older people and for younger adults whose health needs call for qualified nursing support. We care for people living with dementia, for people with physical disability and for those whose medical needs are best met by having registered nurses on site at all hours. Alongside longer stays we offer respite, which can give a family carer a proper rest or give someone a safe place to regain their strength after a hospital admission. Whatever brings a person to us, we start by asking about their life rather than their diagnosis, and we write their care plan with them and with the people who know them best. We should be straightforward about our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission, which rated us as requires improvement overall. We are not going to gloss over that. We know which areas the inspectors asked us to put right, we are working through them steadily, and we are happy to talk any family through what has changed and what we are still doing. We would rather have that conversation openly than have you hear it from a report alone. What has not changed is the day to day care our nurses and carers give, the food, the company and the willingness to pick up the phone when a relative wants to know how somebody is. If you are considering St George's for someone close to you, please visit, ask us difficult questions and judge us on what you see.
