About Swallownest Nursing Home
Swallownest Nursing Home sits between Sheffield and Rotherham, and we provide nursing care for older people from both. Having qualified nurses on site at every hour is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are substantial and liable to change. Medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close monitoring that catches deterioration early are the ordinary content of our days rather than exceptional events. For a lot of the people who move in, the immediate gain is simply an end to the cycle of hospital admissions. Good nursing is the foundation and not the purpose. The purpose is that somebody carries on being themselves while their health is looked after. So we ask before we act, we keep personal care private, we make visitors genuinely welcome rather than merely permitted, and we try to make sure the day holds something a person would have chosen for themselves. People keep their own routines where we can arrange it, and nobody is woken at seven because it suits a rota. Families often know things about a person that we could never guess, particularly about what helps on a bad day, and we ask for that early rather than treating it as a form filling exercise. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take it as a floor. Come and look round, speak to whichever nurse is on duty, and ask the awkward questions.
