About St Benedicts Ferndale House
St Benedicts Ferndale House is a nursing home in Gosport, Hampshire, caring for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people managing mental health conditions. Nursing care exists because some needs cannot safely be met at home, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our nursing team manages medication, wounds, mobility, nutrition and complex health conditions, and we work closely with GPs and community health teams so that nobody falls between services. Records are kept properly and handovers are thorough, because most avoidable problems in this work come from something known by one person and not passed on. Supporting people with mental health needs asks for patience, consistency, and staff who do not take a bad day personally. It also asks that we keep seeing the person rather than the diagnosis, which sounds obvious and is easy to lose sight of when somebody is unwell. Respite stays are available as well as longer arrangements. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome to visit and see the home on an ordinary day.
