About National Star at Ledbury Road

National Star at Ledbury Road in Hereford provides nursing care for adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people with sensory loss. Most of the people we support are younger adults, and we also offer respite stays. What marks this place out is that nursing and ambition sit together. The clinical side has to be dependable, so we pay close attention to medicines, mobility, nutrition, posture, skin and pain, and we work closely with GPs, therapists and specialists rather than in isolation. But a young adult who needs nursing is not waiting out an illness, they are at the start of a life, and the whole point of getting the clinical side right is that it frees somebody to get on with what they actually want to do. So we ask people what they want their days to contain and then make it happen, which is usually more a matter of equipment, transport, patience and good planning than of anything clinical. Learning, work, friendships and getting out all count. Communication takes real effort and deserves it. Many of the people here communicate without speech, and understanding how an individual shows a preference or a refusal is the foundation of everything else. We record what we learn so the whole team responds alike. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
