About Croft Dene Care Home
Croft Dene is a nursing home in Wallsend. We support older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing care, including many living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. Having registered nurses as part of the team means people with complex health needs can stay with us as those needs change rather than being moved on again. That continuity is worth a great deal, particularly for somebody living with dementia, for whom familiar faces and surroundings are doing genuine work. The clinical side is only part of a day here and usually the smaller part. The rest is the ordinary business of living somewhere: meals people want to eat, help that arrives without a long wait, privacy when it is wanted, company when it is not, and being spoken to as somebody with a working life and a family rather than as a set of conditions. Nursing can crowd that out if nobody is watching for it, and we try to watch for it. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. What we work hardest at is not losing good staff, because everything else depends on it.
