About Waterhall Care Home
Waterhall Care Home is a nursing home in Milton Keynes, with registered nurses on duty around the clock alongside our care team. We look after older people whose health needs require nursing, younger adults with nursing needs, people living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We mention it early because it reflects a set of fairly unremarkable commitments rather than anything clever. Staff who stay with us for years, so that people are cared for by faces they know well. Days that belong to the person living them. Families treated as part of the household and able to say when something is not right. Nursing that is thorough without taking over the whole day. The clinical work covers management of long term conditions, wound and skin care, continence support, help with eating and swallowing difficulties, and careful oversight of medication, and we work closely with local GPs, district nurses and therapy teams. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. An outstanding rating is a standard to keep rather than a prize to display, and you are welcome to come and see the home.
