About Queen Elizabeth House

Queen Elizabeth House is a nursing home in Gerrards Cross. We care for older people who need nursing support and for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults who need nursing input, including people with a physical disability and younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Combining nursing care with support for people who have a learning disability or who are autistic takes particular attention. Health needs in this group are too often missed or put down to something else, and we try hard not to let that happen here. Registered nurses are on site around the clock, so changes get picked up early and managed in the home rather than through repeated hospital visits. Just as important is how the place feels. People here have their own rooms and their own routines, and support is built around what each person wants to be able to do rather than around convenience. We learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech, and we pay attention to noise, lighting and predictability, because all of it affects how good a day somebody has. Where someone has a physical disability we think properly about equipment and about not helping more than is wanted, since being over assisted is a real loss. Respite stays suit people needing nursing input briefly and family carers needing a genuine break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit us.
