About Waterside

Waterside is a nursing home in Southwark. We care for older people whose health needs mean qualified nurses should be on hand, including many people living with dementia, and we also support younger adults with nursing needs. Having nurses here means people are not moved on every time their health changes, which matters enormously to somebody who is frail and to the family worrying about them. It also means relatives can stop coordinating appointments and treatments and go back to visiting as a daughter, a husband or a friend. Around the nursing, we keep life as ordinary and unhurried as we can. People choose when to get up, what they eat and how to spend the day. For people living with dementia we hold routines steady and allow plenty of time, because hurrying someone who is confused distresses everybody and helps nobody. In a part of London as varied as ours we also pay attention to food, language and background, because those things are part of feeling at home. Respite stays are available too, for carers needing a break or for someone recovering after hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We keep our own checks running in between. If you are considering nursing care for someone close to you, please come and see us on an ordinary day.
