About St Teresa's Home for the Elderly

St Teresa's Home for the Elderly in Merton provides nursing care for older people, with qualified nurses on hand throughout the day and night. People generally come to us when health needs have grown beyond what can be managed at home, and our job is to take that weight off while keeping daily life recognisable and worth having. Our nursing work is largely a matter of attention to detail: medication, mobility, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort, all done carefully and without fuss. We also watch for the quieter signals, appetite, mood and sleep, that often say more than anything measurable. We want the place to feel like a home rather than a ward. Residents choose when to get up, where to spend the day and how much company they want. Rooms are personalised, meals are taken seriously, and relatives are welcome without appointment. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are considering nursing care in this part of London, please come and visit on an ordinary day and ask our nurses whatever you would like to know.
