About Kirk House Care Home
Kirk House Care Home is a nursing home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, caring for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing support, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. The clinical side of this work is substantial and we take it seriously. Medication, wound care, mobility, continence, nutrition and the management of complex long term conditions all need proper attention, accurate records and close work with GPs and community health teams. Most avoidable problems in nursing care come from something being known by one person and not passed on, so handovers matter here as much as anything else. What surrounds the clinical work matters just as much. Somebody who needs help to move does not stop having preferences or a sense of humour. We pay attention to meals, fresh air, visitors being genuinely welcome, and whether the resident who has gone quiet this week has been noticed. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
