About Cumberland
Cumberland is a nursing home in Mitcham, with qualified nurses on duty day and night alongside our care team. We care for older people and younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs and physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays. People usually come to us when health needs have grown beyond what support at home or a residential home can meet. Nursing here means steady attention to the things that keep a person comfortable: medicines, mobility, nutrition and hydration, skin, continence and pain, reviewed properly and talked through with the person and their family rather than handled quietly. Supporting such a mix of needs well means not treating everyone the same. An older person living with dementia, a younger adult with a learning disability and somebody with a long standing mental health condition want very different days, and our job is to find out what each wants rather than offering one routine. Where a person communicates differently, learning how is part of the work and we record what we learn. Around the clinical care, ordinary life carries on. People rise when they wake, keep their own belongings, choose where to sit and eat food that suits their taste as well as any clinical need. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
