About Birch Avenue
Birch Avenue is a nursing home in Sheffield caring for people who need qualified nursing alongside personal care, including a good number of people living with dementia. Registered nurses are on duty at all hours, which means health needs can be met here rather than requiring someone to move again when their condition changes. We want to be open about our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, which is requires improvement. We would rather state it here than let you come across it elsewhere. We know the areas that were identified and we have a programme of work under way covering staffing, supervision, the quality of our records and how we involve families. Please ask us about it when you visit, because we would far rather answer the question directly. The daily work of the home carries on properly in the meantime. We manage long term conditions, look after skin and wounds, support people with continence and with eating and drinking, and oversee medication carefully. For people living with dementia we keep the day predictable and the faces familiar, because that is what genuinely settles someone. Respite stays are available as well as longer term places. If you are considering Birch Avenue, please come and see it and ask us anything.
