About Sonning Gardens Care Home
Sonning Gardens Care Home is a nursing home near Reading, caring for people from across Wokingham and the surrounding area. As a nursing home we have registered nurses on the team around the clock, which means we can support people with substantial health needs and continue to do so as those needs change rather than asking anyone to move again. We care for older people and younger adults, including many residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our nursing work covers medication, wound care, continence support, help with eating and drinking, careful management of long term conditions and close attention to comfort and skin health. It is detailed work that largely goes unseen, and it is what keeps people well. Dementia care here begins with the person rather than the condition. A resident's working life, their family, their habits and what has always settled them guide how we support them. When someone is distressed we look for the specific cause instead of reaching for a routine answer, and more often than not we find it. The Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding at our most recent inspection. We are proud of it and we treat it as something to keep earning rather than a settled fact. Please come and see us, meet the nursing team and ask us directly how we would care for your relative.
