About Banksfield Nursing Home
Banksfield Nursing Home is in Preston. We care for older people and younger adults with nursing needs, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite and short stays. We will be straightforward about our position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to present it as anything else. We accepted the findings, we have been working through them, and anybody thinking about the home should ask us directly what has changed and what we still have to put right. Qualified nurses are on duty at all hours, which means complex health needs, medication, wound and continence care and care at the end of life are managed here rather than requiring a resident to move again. Early signs that somebody is becoming unwell get picked up because the people looking after them know them. Residents have their own rooms and their own routines, and we ask at the outset how a person has always liked their day to run. For those living with dementia we keep the day steady and unhurried and we learn what reassures a particular resident, since it is rarely the same for two people. Families are welcome through the day, and where somebody is nearing the end of life we plan openly with everybody involved and make room for relatives to stay. Please come and see the home, ask us hard questions, and talk to residents and relatives while you are here.
