About Stretton Nursing Home

Stretton Nursing Home in Hereford provides nursing care for older people, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather put that first than have somebody find it later. It is not the rating we want and we are not going to talk around it. There is an improvement plan in place, we are working through it with our staff, our residents and their families, and anyone considering the home is entitled to ask exactly what is changing, who is accountable and what evidence there is that it is taking effect. The daily work carries on meanwhile and it matters to the people who rely on it. Our nurses manage medication, wound care, mobility, nutrition and complex long term conditions alongside GPs and community health colleagues, and around that runs the ordinary life of the house, which means meals worth eating, visitors made welcome and staff who notice when a resident is not themselves. Respite stays are available. We would encourage families to visit, ask hard questions and judge our progress for themselves.
