About Nightingales Nursing Home

Nightingales Nursing Home is in Leicester, caring for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily life, including residents with a physical disability and people living with sight or hearing loss. Nurses are on duty day and night, which means medication, wound and pressure care and conditions that need close monitoring are managed here, and somebody who becomes unwell is seen without waiting for an appointment. We work closely with local doctors and community services so that problems are dealt with early and, wherever possible, without a trip to hospital. For residents with a physical disability the right equipment is in place and our staff are trained to help with moving and positioning comfortably and safely. Where there is sight or hearing loss we adapt how we communicate, say who we are as we come into a room and take care not to move things without mentioning it. Nursing is the foundation, not the purpose. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, where they sit and who comes to visit, and we work hard at keeping those choices real rather than nominal. Meals are cooked here and nobody is hurried through a plate. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing support for a short period and for family carers who need a proper break. Families are welcome and we would rather hear a concern early. Please ring us if you would like to look round.
