About Franklin House
Franklin House is a nursing home in West Drayton. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, and we support people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people managing a mental health condition. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Supporting that range of need in one home works only if the care is genuinely individual. A younger adult with a physical disability who wants to get out and do things has little in common with an older person in the later stages of dementia, and treating them as variations of the same task fails both. We plan with each person separately and expect staff to know the people they support properly rather than in outline. Nurses are on duty at every hour, so medication, skin care, nutrition, pain and mobility are managed here and changes in health are noticed early. A good deal that would otherwise end in a hospital admission is handled in the person's own room. We also think a home should feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they are kept. Rooms belong to the people in them, visitors come without appointment, and we would far rather hear a complaint early than a polite silence. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round if you are considering nursing care locally.
