About Hamble Heights
Hamble Heights is a nursing home near Southampton, in Hampshire. Qualified nurses are on duty here at every hour rather than visiting, and that is generally why families come to us instead of to a residential home. Most of the people living with us are older adults and a large proportion are living with dementia. We also support younger adults whose health needs require nursing, and we take care they are not quietly absorbed into a routine designed for people decades older. Respite admissions are available alongside permanent places. Coming into a nursing home is rarely anybody's plan. It usually follows a fall, a hospital stay, or a long stretch in which a husband, wife or daughter slowly realised they could not keep going. We try to meet families at that point with some tact, and we do not ask anybody to repeat their whole story to four different members of staff. The nursing is careful and unhurried. Medicines, wounds, pain, pressure care, and making sure people eat and drink enough. Beyond that we are mainly interested in whether somebody is comfortable, whether they are bored, and whether they have seen the people they love this week. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and look round and bring the questions you are reluctant to ask.
