About Dapplemere Nursing Home
Dapplemere Nursing Home is in Rickmansworth. We care for older people who need nursing support, including those living with dementia and those living with mental ill health, people with a physical disability and people with visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Registered nurses are here throughout the day and night, which means clinical needs are met in the home rather than elsewhere. Wound care, catheters, diabetes, pain relief and the gradual changes that come with frailty are handled by people who know the person, in surroundings they know, which saves an enormous amount of upheaval. Good nursing care is mostly small things done reliably. Pressure care that does not slip. Mouth care that is not skipped. Someone sitting with a person who is frightened at three in the morning. We would rather be judged on those than on anything else. The other half of the job is a life worth getting up for. Residents choose their routines and their rooms are their own. Where sight or hearing is reduced, we adapt how we communicate and keep the surroundings predictable. Where dementia or mental ill health is part of the picture, we keep things calm and consistent and treat distress as something to be understood. Respite stays suit people needing nursing input briefly or family carers who need a genuine break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please visit Dapplemere and ask us anything.
