About Abbey House Nursing Home
Abbey House is a nursing home in Southampton. We support older people whose needs include nursing care, including people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays. The point of nursing care under this roof is continuity. People do not have to leave the place and the staff they know because their health has changed. We work at keeping the nursing from setting the tone of the place. A nursing home can drift into feeling like a ward, and once it does the rest follows: people stop being asked what they would like, days lose any shape of their own, and relatives begin behaving like hospital visitors. So we keep our attention on ordinary things. Meals worth eating. Getting outside when the weather allows. Help without a long wait. Privacy. Being spoken to as somebody with a working life and a family rather than as a diagnosis. For residents with physical disabilities we plan the practical side around what somebody can still do themselves rather than what is fastest for us, because independence given up for convenience is rarely handed back. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. What would tell you more is watching how long somebody waits after ringing a bell.
