About Waverley House

Waverley House is a nursing home in Leominster, offering both residential and nursing care to older people and to younger adults, along with respite and short stays. Having qualified nurses here means we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing, and it means families do not face another move when needs increase. Nursing care matters most, though, when it is delivered by people who know the person, so we work hard at continuity and at knowing more about somebody than their notes contain. Dementia care is a large part of what we do. We keep the day steady, allow plenty of time, and try to understand distress rather than simply manage it. Where a person's memory reaches further back than the present, we go there with them, which is usually kinder and almost always more useful than correcting. We work closely with GPs, district nurses and therapists, and we would rather ask for advice early than wait. Families are kept in the picture and are welcome here at any reasonable hour. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep looking at what could be better, particularly the ordinary things, food, timing, comfort and dignity, which are what people actually notice. If you are considering nursing care for someone, please come and see us and ask whatever you need to.
