About Specialist Care Centre
Cannock Specialist Care Centre is a nursing home in Cannock, Staffordshire. We care for older people needing nursing support, people living with dementia, people with mental health needs, people living with a physical disability and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also support younger adults and welcome people for respite stays. Caring well for such a range of needs depends on planning around individuals rather than labels. We ask each person, and those who know them best, how they like to live, what they can manage themselves and where they want help, and we build the support from those answers. Qualified nurses on site mean health needs are met here, without somebody being moved elsewhere because their condition has changed. Alongside that we work hard on the ordinary things. Choice about when to get up and how to spend the day. Privacy during personal care. Consistent staff, which matters most of all to people living with dementia, for whom a familiar face is worth more than any intervention we could add later. Where sight or hearing is poor we adapt how we communicate so nobody is left out of decisions about their own care. Families are welcome and concerns are acted on the first time they are raised. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering nursing care in Cannock, please visit and ask us anything.
