About Briar Hill House
Briar Hill House is a nursing home in Rugeley, Staffordshire, caring for older people and younger adults whose needs require qualified nursing alongside support with daily life. Registered nurses work with our care team, which means we can look after people with health conditions that need regular clinical attention, support those recovering after illness or surgery, and continue caring for someone as their needs increase. We also support people living with a physical disability, where the practical details make all the difference, from the right equipment to being given long enough to do things at your own pace rather than at ours. Residents keep their own routines as far as they are able, decide how they spend their time and choose how much they want to join in. Families are welcome here, and we would always rather a relative rang us with a worry than sat at home with it. Respite stays are available for people who need nursing care for a short period, often while a family carer takes a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are genuinely proud of that, and what pleases us most is that it describes the ordinary daily experience of people living here rather than anything put on for the occasion. It is also something we have to keep earning. If you would like to visit Briar Hill House, please ring us and we will arrange a time.
