About Lady Forester Community Nursing Home

Lady Forester Community Nursing Home is in Much Wenlock, Shropshire. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we take respite admissions alongside permanent places. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing, manage a great deal here rather than in hospital, and provide care towards the end of life calmly and without rush. Alongside the clinical work we try hard to hold on to the ordinary things, because they are what people actually live on. Being up, dressed and comfortable. Food worth eating. Company. A day with some shape to it. For residents living with dementia we keep the environment calm, routines familiar and staffing as steady as we can, and we take time to learn about each person's life so that we can make better sense of what they are telling us when words become difficult. Respite admissions are planned properly, whether they are giving a family carer a genuine break or supporting somebody through a period of recovery. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, which we treat as a foundation rather than a conclusion. Families are welcome here at any reasonable hour, and we would much rather be told about a concern straight away than weeks afterwards. Please contact us if you would like to look round.
