About Holywell Nursing Home
Holywell Nursing Home is in Highbridge, Somerset. We provide nursing care for older people whose health needs go beyond what a residential home can safely offer, with qualified nurses on duty throughout the day and night. Many of our residents live with dementia, often alongside physical illness or reduced mobility. Caring well in that situation is detailed work. Pain that somebody can no longer describe, appetite that changes without warning, skin that needs watching and confusion that comes and goes must all be picked up early, and that depends on staff who know the person rather than simply the notes. Care is planned with residents and their families. Meals, sleep, privacy, company and the ordinary rhythm of a day sit in the plan alongside medication and observations, and the small preferences are written down so that good care does not depend on who happens to be on shift. We work closely with GPs, district nurses, therapists and hospital teams to keep treatment prompt and to avoid unnecessary moves. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break and for people who require nursing support for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us or call in. We will show you round, answer your questions plainly and help you decide.
