About Westvilla Nursing Home

Westvilla Nursing Home is in Retford in Nottinghamshire. We care for older people who need nursing support, and we take respite bookings for people who need nursing care for a short period. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means we can look after people whose health is genuinely complicated and keep looking after them as things change, rather than moving somebody on at the point continuity matters most. Wound care, pain, continence, nutrition, medication and moving safely are all managed properly here, and a good deal that would otherwise mean a trip to hospital can be dealt with at home instead. For families, that is often what they value most in the end. None of that is the point on its own, though. Nursing care delivered without thought turns a person into a round of tasks, and we work deliberately against it. People here choose when they get up, what they wear, what is on their plate and how they spend the afternoon. We knock, we explain what we are about to do, and we wait to be told it is all right to go ahead. Respite stays get the same attention. A short stay leaves no time to settle in slowly, so we ask families to tell us everything, including the details they assume are too small to matter. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall, and we keep asking residents and relatives what needs attention.
