Nursing Care

The specific nursing care an individual receives can vary based on their unique needs. Nonetheless, at Templeton House Care Home, we offer a wide range of nursing services. These services encompass medication management and wound care, as well as assistance with daily activities and support for individuals with physical disabilities, mental health conditions, and sensory impairments. We also collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure that our residents consistently receive the appropriate care to maintain their health and overall well-being.

You should consider nursing care when you notice any of the below:

• Worsening chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or dementia
• Difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, or grooming
• Recent falls, injuries, hospitalisations or emergency room visits
• Significant weight loss or changes in appetite
• Increased confusion or forgetfulness
• Difficulty managing medications or complying with treatment plans
• Need for specialised medical equipment or care, such as oxygen therapy or wound care

Our nursing team will evaluate the necessary level of care and offer guidance on the most suitable care approach. When deciding to move into a care home, it’s important to have open communication with your family and involve the person in need of care as much as possible in the decision-making process.

Templeton House Care Home places a high priority on ensuring the safety of its residents. We accomplish this by maintaining appropriate staffing levels, ensuring that our nursing staff is well-trained and qualified, implementing infection control and medication management protocols, and conducting regular safety audits and assessments. Additionally, we put security measures in place that prevent unauthorized access and safeguard the well-being of our residents.

At Templeton House Care Home, we require a 28-day notice period for residents receiving any of our long-term care types and are looking to move out. Our compassionate team are on hand around the clock to support you with your moving transition and answer any further questions you have.
