About The Shrubbery Nursing Home
The Shrubbery Nursing Home is a nursing home in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, where registered nurses are on duty around the clock. We care for older people whose health needs require nursing, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and people with loss of sight or hearing. Our nursing work covers the management of long term conditions, wound and skin care, continence support, help where eating and swallowing have become difficult, and careful oversight of medication. We work closely with GPs, district nurses, therapists and dietitians, and we involve families in decisions about treatment instead of informing them once the decision is made. Alongside that, we try to keep the day from becoming clinical. People here have long lives behind them and they should not spend the rest of their time being processed. That means time for conversation, visitors welcomed whenever they come, a garden to sit in, and being taken out when someone is well enough for it. For people living with dementia, and for those with sensory loss, we adapt how we communicate and keep the surroundings and the routine consistent, because familiarity is the most reliable comfort available. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we would be pleased to show you round.
