About Yew Tree Nursing Home
Yew Tree Nursing Home is in Halesowen, Worcestershire. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs mean that qualified nurses should be available at any hour, including people with physical disabilities. Many of our residents live with dementia, often alongside physical illness or reduced mobility. Caring for both at once is skilled work. It means noticing pain that somebody can no longer describe, keeping the surroundings calm and familiar, and adjusting how we communicate as needs change rather than carrying on as before. Care is planned with residents and their families. Meals, sleep, privacy, company and the ordinary shape of the day sit in the plan alongside medication and observations, and the small preferences are written down so that good care does not depend on who happens to be on shift. We work closely with GPs, community nurses, therapists and hospital teams so that treatment is prompt and unnecessary moves are avoided. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break and for people who require nursing support for a short period, including after a hospital admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us or call in. We will show you round, answer your questions plainly and help you decide.
