About Warnham Lodge
Warnham Lodge is a nursing home in Horsham, providing nursing care for older people and younger adults across West Sussex, including people living with dementia, people with mental health needs and people who have a physical disability. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are genuinely complex and liable to change. Medication, wound care, attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close observation that catches deterioration before it turns into an emergency are the ordinary content of our days. For families worn down by repeated hospital admissions, the end of that cycle is usually what they notice first. Nursing is the foundation rather than the point. The point is that somebody carries on being themselves while their health is looked after. So we ask before we act, we keep personal care private, we make visitors welcome at inconvenient hours, and we take the trouble to learn what a particular person would actually like to do with an afternoon. For residents whose mental health needs sit alongside physical ill health, we try to hold both properly at once and we work with the teams already involved rather than starting from scratch. That combination is often handled badly, with symptoms read as behaviour or the other way round. With dementia we rely on familiar faces and a calm pace. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and see us, and ask the nurses how the hard days go.
