About Longlea Nursing Home
Longlea Nursing Home is in Maidenhead, and we care for older people who need registered nursing alongside help with daily life. Nursing cover at every hour of the day and night is the practical reason most people come to us. It allows us to manage complex medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and to keep close enough watch on somebody's health that changes are picked up early rather than turning into emergencies. Where a person is approaching the end of their life, it means we can keep them comfortable here, among people who know them, instead of moving them somewhere unfamiliar. Clinical skill is only part of what makes a nursing home worth living in. It is easy for a place like this to become one where everything happens to people and nothing is decided by them, and we work against that. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, whether they join in and who comes to see them. A bath when you fancy one rather than when the rota says is a small thing that turns out not to be small at all. Respite and short stays are available, including for people regaining their strength after a spell in hospital and for families who need a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring to arrange a visit.
