About Thirlestaine Park Care Home
Thirlestaine Park Care Home is a nursing home in Cheltenham. We care for older people whose health needs require qualified nurses on hand, including many people living with dementia, and we also support people with physical disabilities and younger adults with nursing needs. Having nurses here means somebody does not have to move again when their health changes, which spares a frail person a great deal of disruption and spares their family a great deal of worry. It also means relatives can hand over the exhausting business of coordinating care and go back to being family. Around the nursing, we try to keep life ordinary. People get up when they wake, eat what they actually enjoy and spend the day as they choose. For people living with dementia we keep routines steady and allow plenty of time, because hurrying someone who is confused helps nobody at all. Respite stays are part of what we offer too, for a family carer needing a rest or for someone needing nursing support for a while after hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We treat it as a floor rather than a ceiling and keep our own checks running in between. If you are weighing up nursing care for someone close to you, please come and see us. The decision is much easier once you have met the people here.
