About Worplesdon View
Worplesdon View is a nursing home in Guildford. We care for older people who need nursing support, including those living with dementia, and we also support some younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Registered nurses are here day and night, so clinical needs are met in the home rather than through repeated hospital trips. Wound care, catheters, diabetes, pain relief and the gradual changes that come with frailty are handled by people who know the person. For families, it means ringing up and speaking to somebody who can actually say how their relative has been. Most of good nursing care is unglamorous and depends on reliability. Pressure care attended to on time. Mouth care not skipped. Someone sitting with a person who is frightened at three in the morning. Those are the things worth judging us on. Alongside the clinical side sits the ordinary business of a decent day, which matters just as much. Residents choose their routines and their rooms are their own, and nobody is expected to join in with anything out of politeness. With dementia we rely on familiar faces, a steady rhythm and knowing something of a person's earlier life, and we treat distress as something to be understood rather than quietened. Respite stays suit people needing nursing input for a short period and family carers who need a proper break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
