About Cavendish Court
Cavendish Court is a nursing home in Alderley Edge, providing nursing care for older people across Cheshire East, including people living with dementia and people who have a physical disability. Having qualified nurses on site at every hour is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are substantial and liable to change. Medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close monitoring that catches deterioration early are the ordinary content of our days rather than exceptional events. For families worn down by repeated hospital admissions, the end of that cycle is usually the first change they notice. Good nursing is the foundation and not the purpose. The purpose is that somebody carries on being themselves while their health is looked after. So we ask before we act, we keep personal care private, we make visitors welcome at awkward hours, and we take the trouble to learn what a particular person would actually like to do with an afternoon. For residents with a physical disability, the right equipment and staff who know each individual's preferred way of transferring mean getting out of a room is never a question of staff convenience. With dementia we rely on familiar faces and an unhurried pace rather than correction, and relatives usually hold the small details that settle a difficult hour. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and look round and put your questions to the nurses on duty.

More about the care at Cavendish Court
Nursing Care at Cavendish Court
Repeated hospital admissions wear families down, and this home says the end of that cycle is usually the first change they notice. Qualified nurses on site at every hour are what make it possible, covering medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and monitoring close enough to catch deterioration early. The people who need that are those whose health is substantial and liable to change, rather than those who mainly need help with daily tasks. Where a resident is assessed as needing nursing, the NHS pays about £235 a week towards that element under NHS Funded Nursing Care. Ask whether the assessment has been requested and what remains payable each week.
Dementia Care at Cavendish Court
The purpose, this home says, is that somebody carries on being themselves while their health is looked after, and dementia is where that is hardest to achieve. The practical requirements are a routine that holds, staff a resident recognises, and a building calm enough that walking about does not end in an argument at a door. A nursing registration also means care in Alderley Edge can usually continue as the condition advances, which spares a second move. Cavendish Court does not describe its dementia training, so ask about it directly. Ask what happens when a resident becomes distressed in the evening. Ask who decides whether medication has a part in that.
Older Person Care at Cavendish Court
Cavendish Court may care for up to forty three people in Alderley Edge, which is small enough for staff to learn how an individual likes a morning to begin. That is most of what older person care consists of: washing and dressing at a tolerable pace, medication given on time, meals worth eating, and company that is offered rather than rationed. The home says it asks before it acts and keeps personal care private, which are better indicators than any photograph of a lounge. The register says nothing about how the night is staffed. Ask how many people are on duty after midnight and how many of them are registered nurses. Ask who would telephone a relative if something changed overnight.
Physical Disability at Cavendish Court
Equipment that suits the person and staff who know each individual's preferred way of transferring are what this home points to for residents with a physical disability. Personal care kept private belongs in the same bracket, as does help that stops short of taking over. Ask what hoists and bathing facilities are in use, and who reassesses when somebody's mobility changes.
