About Douglas Bank Nursing Home

Douglas Bank Nursing Home is in Wigan and we provide both residential and nursing care under one roof. That matters to the people who live here, because it means that if someone's health needs change they do not have to move somewhere unfamiliar. Nurses are on duty day and night. We care for older people, residents with a physical disability, people living with sight or hearing loss and younger adults whose needs are best met in a home like ours. Many of our residents are living with dementia, and for them we keep the day calm and familiar, keep the same staff working with the same people and take time to understand what somebody means when speech has become difficult. We also support people living with eating disorders, working alongside the health professionals involved and without judgement at mealtimes or afterwards. Where there is a physical disability the right equipment is in place and staff are trained to help with moving comfortably and safely. For residents with sight or hearing loss we adapt how we communicate and do not move things without saying so. Residents still choose when they get up, what they eat, where they sit and who visits. Respite stays are available, both after a hospital admission and where a family carer needs a break. Please ring us if you would like to visit and look round.
