About Bluebell House

Bluebell House is a nursing home in Loughborough supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, people with a physical disability, and people living with a visual or hearing impairment, including those whose health needs require qualified nursing care. Nursing and a good life are not competing aims, and we try to hold both. Clinical needs are looked after properly, with nurses on hand and close working with GPs, therapists and specialist teams, but the point of that is to make an ordinary life possible rather than to turn somebody's home into a clinic. We plan support around the individual. That means learning how somebody communicates and adapting to it, understanding what makes an environment comfortable or unbearable, giving warning before anything changes, and being clear about what a person wants to do for themselves. Where somebody has complex physical needs, we get the practical detail right, positioning, equipment, mealtimes and comfort, because those details shape the whole day. We also offer respite stays, which can provide a planned break for families and a gentle introduction for the person. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and do not yet hold an overall rating. We would encourage families and professionals considering us to visit, ask direct questions and speak to the people who live here, and we will answer plainly rather than sell ourselves.
