About Appletree Court Care Home
Appletree Court Care Home is a nursing home in Edgware, supporting people from Barnet and the surrounding London boroughs. We care for older people and younger adults with nursing needs, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. Nursing registration and qualified nurses on site at all hours mean that people whose health is complex and changeable can live here instead of moving repeatedly between home and hospital. Medication, wound care, attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and spotting early when somebody is becoming unwell are everyday work rather than exceptional events. What takes more thought is everything else. A medical need does not turn a person into a patient full time, and a nursing home can slide very easily into doing things to people rather than with them. Our counterweight is attention. Knowing who wants the curtains open at six and who does not want to see anybody before nine. Noticing when a resident is being left in their room because getting them out takes two staff and ten minutes. Taking a low mood as a reason to sit down rather than a symptom to record. With dementia we work on familiarity and calm, and relatives usually hold the detail that helps us reach somebody. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and look round at a busy time, speak to the nurses on duty and ask the awkward questions.

Dementia Care at Appletree Court Care Home
A medical need does not turn a person into a patient full time, as this home puts it, warning that a nursing home can slide into doing things to people rather than with them. For dementia it says it works on familiarity and calm, and that relatives usually hold the useful detail. Dementia care is on the Edgware registration and no CQC rating has been published, so there is nothing to check that against. Ask how distress is handled on a difficult afternoon, what is done if a resident tries to leave, and how a plan changes as dementia advances. Ask what dementia training the nurses and care staff receive.
Older Person Care at Appletree Court Care Home

Alongside that sits the clinical routine: help with washing and dressing, medication managed, meals and company, with qualified nurses on site at all hours. Appletree Court Care Home argues that a medical need does not turn somebody into a patient full time. Ask how many staff and how many nurses are on through the night, and what they can handle without calling out. Ask also how a routine is agreed when a resident moves in, and who a family speaks to when it is not followed.
Younger Adults at Appletree Court Care Home
Barnet usually pays about £1000 to £1200 a week, well below the indicative London range for a nursing placement. Younger adults with nursing needs are named on this registration beside older people. Ask who of a similar age lives here now, and how an afternoon is filled for somebody that age.
Physical Disability at Appletree Court Care Home
Being left in a room because getting somebody out takes two staff and ten minutes is what this home says it watches for. The right equipment and staff who know a preferred way of transferring are what prevent it.
