About OSJCT Westgate House
Westgate House is a nursing home in Wallingford supporting older people who need nursing care, including many living with dementia, and we also take respite bookings. Having registered nurses on site means health needs are met here rather than becoming a reason to move someone somewhere unfamiliar. Medication, wounds, continence, long term conditions and end of life care are all looked after in the home by staff who know the resident, which matters most at the point when it matters most. Nursing is only part of what we do. The rest is the ordinary business of a good day. Breakfast at a decent hour, a chair by the right window, conversation with someone who knows your history, and something worth getting up for. Staff who know residents properly spot pain or a change in mood long before it appears in any record, and that is where good nursing care actually starts. In our dementia care we keep the day predictable, the environment calm and the faces familiar, and we take our lead from the person rather than correcting them. Respite stays are available, including recovery periods after a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you are looking at nursing care in this part of Oxfordshire, please come and see us and ask us whatever you need to.
