About Knights' Grove Care Home
Knights' Grove Care Home is a nursing home near Southampton. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, we support people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased with it and wary of it, because the standard takes considerably more effort to hold than to reach, and the surest way to lose it is to start believing your own description. What gets us there is not complicated. A settled team who know the residents properly rather than in outline. Nursing on site at all hours so that problems are caught early. A day that belongs to the people living in it, so that residents decide when to get up, what to eat and how much company they want. Families who feel able to say when something is wrong, and a manager who is on the floor. For those living with dementia, we work from who the person has been, not only from what they can currently manage. Please come and visit if you are considering nursing care locally. Come unannounced if you would rather.
