Forest Place Nursing Home

About Us

Forest Place Nursing Home is a nursing home in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, where registered nurses are on duty around the clock alongside our care team. People come to us when their health needs have gone beyond what residential care or support at home can safely manage.

We look after older people, younger adults with nursing needs, and a good number of people living with dementia. The nursing work covers the management of long term conditions, wound and skin care, continence support, help where eating and swallowing have become difficult, and careful oversight of medication. We work closely with local GPs, district nurses and therapy teams, and we ask for specialist advice early rather than waiting to see how things develop.

What we try to avoid is letting the clinical side take over the day. The most valuable parts of a week here are usually the least medical ones: a visit from family, a conversation that goes on longer than it needed to, being taken out into the garden when the weather is kind. For people living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar, because that settles somebody more reliably than anything else.

Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
