About Hatherley Care Home

Hatherley Care Home is a nursing home in Saffron Walden, Essex. Because we have qualified nurses on duty, we can look after people whose health needs are beyond what a residential home can safely manage, and we can usually carry on caring for somebody as those needs grow rather than asking them to move again. We care for older people who need nursing support, including many living with dementia and many with physical disabilities, and we support people living with sight or hearing loss, people living with mental ill health, and some younger adults. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a limited period. Clinically our attention goes where it counts: medication, skin integrity, nutrition and hydration, pain, safe moving and handling, and noticing early when a condition is changing. We work closely with the GP practice and the community health and mental health teams who support the home. Beyond the clinical side, this is where people live. Residents keep their own rooms and their own belongings, choose when to get up and what to eat, and can have company or quiet as they prefer. The garden gets used when the weather allows, and families are welcome at any reasonable hour. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us to arrange a proper look around.
