About Roebuck Nursing Home
Roebuck Nursing Home is in Stevenage, and we provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose conditions require qualified nursing. Respite stays are available when a family carer needs a break or cover. Registered nurses are on duty here at every hour. Medication is managed carefully, wound care, catheter care and conditions that vary from week to week are handled on site, and a change in a resident's health tends to be noticed early because the person who notices knows them well. We work closely with GPs, district nurses, therapists and hospital teams, and we follow things up on a resident's behalf when they are slow to move. Dementia care sits alongside the clinical side of our work and cannot really be separated from it. Somebody in pain or frightened who cannot say so will show us in other ways, and reading that properly depends on knowing the person. So we ask families about working lives, music, food and old habits, and we keep the day calm and familiar rather than busy and full of surprises. We would rather have relatives properly involved than politely informed. Families know things about a person that no assessment will ever capture, and we would sooner ask than guess. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour, and we are happy to be asked difficult questions. Ring us if you would like to look round on an ordinary working day.
