About Ambleside Nursing Home
Ambleside Nursing Home is a nursing home in Weston super Mare. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, and we support people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Nurses are on duty at every hour, so medication, skin care, nutrition, pain and mobility are managed here, and a change in somebody's condition is noticed by people who know how they usually are rather than by a stranger reading a chart. A good deal that would otherwise become a hospital admission is handled in the person's own room instead. We are careful that the clinical side does not take over the day. Being well looked after and having a day worth getting up for are two separate achievements. People are helped to dress properly, to eat food they actually like, to get outside and to see whoever they want. Where sight or hearing has failed, we say who has come into the room and describe what is happening. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit if you are considering nursing care locally.
