About Elmhurst Nursing Home

Elmhurst is a nursing home in Whitchurch, Shropshire. We are registered to provide nursing care, which means we can look after older people whose health needs are more involved than a residential home is able to manage safely, with qualified nurses working alongside our care team every day. Our residents typically need both clinical attention and help with the ordinary business of living. We manage medication, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort, and we help with washing, dressing and moving about in a way that keeps as much control as possible with the resident. We stay in close touch with GPs and community health teams, because good nursing care depends on nobody assuming that somebody else has dealt with it. Dementia care is an important part of what we do, and the things that help are quiet ones: familiar staff, a routine that does not shift about, food that is recognisable, and the willingness to give reassurance for the tenth time as patiently as the first. We also support residents with physical disabilities, adapting how we assist with mobility so that dignity is not the price of safety. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and see us on a normal weekday if you want an accurate impression.
