Nursing care may be appropriate when someone needs regular support from a qualified nurse as well as help with personal care and everyday activities.
There isn't one particular diagnosis that determines whether someone needs nursing care. What matters is how a person's health affects them and the level of support they require. Someone may need regular clinical monitoring, help managing medication or additional support with mobility and other physical needs.
The need for nursing care can emerge gradually as someone's health changes. It can also follow an illness, fall or hospital stay when returning home is no longer the most suitable option.
If you're unsure whether nursing care is appropriate, the Kington Court team can assess your loved one's individual needs and explain whether the home can provide the support they require.
Clinical needs are only one part of someone's life. At Kington Court, nursing care is planned around the individual, including their health needs, routines, preferences and the things that are important to them.
That might mean understanding how someone prefers to start their morning, the foods they enjoy, how they like to communicate or when they prefer some time to themselves. These details help the team provide care in a way that feels less clinical and more personal.
Residents are also encouraged to remain involved in decisions about their care wherever possible. Families can contribute their knowledge too, particularly when they can help the team understand a resident's history, preferences or ways of communicating.
As someone's health or abilities change, their support can be reviewed and adapted. The aim is to provide the nursing care they need without unnecessarily taking away the choices and independence they can still enjoy.
Moving into nursing care doesn't mean everyday life should revolve around care. At Kington Court, residents can spend their time in ways that feel comfortable and familiar, with nursing support there when they need it.
