About Sherwood Court
Sherwood Court is a nursing home in Preston. We provide nursing care for older people, we support people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. People usually come to us at a point of change, often after a hospital stay or when managing at home has stopped being safe. That is an unsettling time, and a great deal of our work in the first few weeks is simply about helping somebody feel steady again: sleeping properly, eating again, having their own things around them and getting their medication right. Nurses are on duty at every hour, so medication, skin care, nutrition and pain are managed here, and a change in somebody's condition is spotted by people who know what they are normally like. Families often say the greatest relief is no longer being the ones who have to notice everything. For those living with dementia, we keep the shape of the day and the faces around it as steady as we can, and we take the trouble to learn a person's history, because distress nearly always has a reason and the reason usually lies in a life we did not witness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit if you are considering nursing care locally.
