About Maplehurst Nursing Home
Maplehurst Nursing Home is in Haywards Heath. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with everyday life, including residents living with dementia. Having nurses on duty around the clock means we can manage wound and pressure care, continence needs, diabetes, pain relief and end of life care properly, working alongside GPs and district nursing teams. It also means somebody whose health declines can usually remain here, among familiar faces and their own belongings, rather than being moved at the hardest possible moment. Dementia nursing asks for patience more than anything. We keep surroundings calm and the rhythm of the day predictable, we keep the same staff around the same residents as far as rotas allow, and we give people the time they need to find their words instead of finishing sentences for them. We ask families to tell us about working lives, music, habits and the things that will always get a response, because that knowledge does real work on a difficult afternoon. Respite stays are available, including nursing support after a hospital discharge. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. Families across West Sussex are welcome to visit and see the home for themselves.
