About Wavertree House

Wavertree House in Hove offers both residential and nursing care, with qualified nurses on duty at all times. We care for older people, including people with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Having both kinds of care under one roof matters more than it may sound. When somebody's health changes, they do not necessarily have to move again and start over with strangers, and that continuity is worth a great deal to people and to their families. Nursing here means steady attention to the things that keep a person comfortable and well: medicines, mobility, nutrition and hydration, skin, continence and pain, reviewed properly and discussed with the person and their family rather than handled quietly in the background. We involve GPs, district nurses and specialists early rather than late. Sensory loss gets particular attention because it is so often overlooked. Lighting, contrast, clear signs and hearing aids that have actually been checked and are working decide whether somebody can join in a conversation or spends the day at one remove from it. Around all of that, ordinary life carries on. People rise when they wake, keep their own furniture and photographs about them, choose where to spend the day and eat food that suits their taste as well as any clinical need. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
