About Bearwood Nursing Home

Bearwood Nursing Home in Smethwick cares for older people who need qualified nursing support, including residents living with dementia, residents with a physical disability and residents with a visual or hearing impairment. Having nurses on site at every hour means we can look after people with real clinical needs without them having to move again as their health changes. We take the clinical work seriously. Medication managed properly, pain kept under control, skin and nutrition monitored, and health professionals brought in early rather than late. Done well, that side of things fades into the background and leaves room for the day itself. The day is what residents and families actually care about, so we give it attention. Flexible mornings, food people look forward to, company for those who want it and peace for those who do not, and support with washing and dressing given calmly and with dignity. For residents living with dementia we keep routines familiar and our pace unhurried, and we learn as much as we can about a person's earlier life. That knowledge is usually what allows us to settle someone who is anxious. We also offer respite care, often used when a family carer needs a break or when someone needs nursing support for a few weeks after hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
