About Westacre Nursing Home

Westacre Nursing Home is in Winchester, and we provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose conditions require qualified nursing. Respite stays are available when a family carer needs a break or cover. Nurses are on duty here at all hours, and that changes what is possible. Medication is managed closely, wound care, catheter care and conditions that shift from week to week are handled on site, and a change in a resident's health is picked up early by staff who know them well rather than during a hurried appointment elsewhere. We work alongside GPs, district nurses, therapists and hospital teams, and we press for what a resident needs when it is slow in coming. Dementia care matters to us as much as clinical care, and the two are not separable. Someone in pain or frightened who cannot explain it will show us in other ways, and reading that correctly depends on knowing the person. So we ask families about working lives, music, food and old habits, and we keep the day calm and familiar rather than busy. We would rather be straightforward about our position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have gone through the findings carefully and putting those points right is where our effort is concentrated now. We are happy to discuss the detail with anyone considering Westacre, and to show you the place on a normal working day rather than a prepared one.
