About Woodside Place

Woodside Place is a nursing home in Telford in Telford and Wrekin. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, including people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are available too. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours means we can look after people whose health is genuinely complicated, and go on looking after them as things change rather than moving somebody on at the point familiarity matters most. Wounds, pain, continence, nutrition, medication and safe movement are all managed properly here, and much that might otherwise involve a hospital trip does not have to. What we guard against is the way clinical care can quietly reduce somebody to a round of tasks. So the ordinary courtesies get as much attention as the medical ones. People decide when they get up, what they wear, what is on the plate and how the afternoon goes. We knock, we explain what we are about to do, and we wait for an answer. Dementia asks for a familiar rhythm more than anything we can add. We keep the day recognisable, avoid surprises, and when somebody is unsettled we go looking for the reason. Families usually know what helps, including the details they assume are too small to mention. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. You are welcome to visit, look around properly and ask us whatever you need to.
