About Care Home

Leominster Care Home provides nursing care to older people in Leominster, with respite stays also available. We support residents living with dementia and residents with a physical disability. Having registered nurses on site at all hours means health needs are picked up and dealt with here, by people who know the resident well, rather than through hospital admissions that often leave a frail person more confused and less able than when they went in. Families can also get a proper clinical answer when they ring, which matters more than it might sound. Leominster is a small town and being part of it counts for a good deal. Family, friends and neighbours are close by, and we would much rather they came and went freely than visited by arrangement. Moving into a care home should not mean leaving your own community at the same time. For residents living with dementia we rely on familiarity above all: the same staff, a routine that keeps its shape, and the patience to work out what somebody is trying to tell us rather than reacting to how it comes out. The nursing belongs in the background. Done properly and then out of the way, so that the day is about company, food, fresh air and what a person enjoys. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Anyone considering a place here is welcome to visit and see for themselves.
