About Kingfishers Nursing Home

Kingfishers Nursing Home is in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with visual or hearing impairment and people with eating disorders. We take respite admissions alongside permanent places. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing, manage a great deal here rather than in hospital, and provide care towards the end of life calmly and without rush. Alongside the clinical work we try to hold on to the ordinary things, because they are what people actually live on. Being up, dressed and comfortable. Food worth eating. Company. A day with some shape to it. For residents living with dementia we keep the environment calm, routines familiar and staffing as steady as we can, and we take time to learn about each person's life so that we can make better sense of what they are telling us. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we are not going to talk around it. We know the areas that were identified, we are working through them with the whole team, and if you come to see us we will tell you honestly what has changed and what has not yet. Families are welcome at Kingfishers, and we would far rather hear a concern early than late.
