About Polebrook Nursing Home

Polebrook Nursing Home provides nursing care for older people near Peterborough. We support people living with dementia, people living with mental ill health and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. With registered nurses on duty at all hours, medication, wound care, continence, long term conditions and care at the end of life are managed here rather than through repeated hospital admissions. We work closely with local GPs, community nursing teams, therapists and mental health colleagues, and we would rather ask for specialist advice early than wait and see. Good nursing is only part of what makes a home liveable, though. Rooms are personal, visitors are welcome without appointment, and the day is arranged around the people here rather than around the rota. When somebody moves in we want to know about their working life, their habits and the people who matter to them, because that is what allows us to look after a person rather than a diagnosis. For people living with dementia we concentrate on familiarity and time. A day with a steady rhythm, consistent staff, and space to respond properly when somebody is distressed rather than hurry them along. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit, meet the nursing team and see how the home runs before making any decision.
