About Waterside House

Waterside House is a nursing home in Southampton. We care for older people whose needs include nursing, including many living with dementia, and respite stays are part of what we do. Nursing on site means a change in somebody's health is something we manage rather than a reason to send them elsewhere. Families who have already been through one upheaval usually understand the value of that straight away. Keeping the place feeling domestic rather than clinical takes deliberate work. People here are residents and not patients, and the day should look like it: food worth finishing, getting outside, prompt help, and privacy that is actually respected. For residents living with dementia we hold the routine still and learn the life behind the person, because knowing where somebody worked and who they married changes what we can offer when they are unsettled. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather state that plainly than write around the gap. Anybody considering us should visit unannounced, speak to residents and relatives, and ask us whatever they want to ask.
