About Fernhill House

Fernhill House is a nursing home in Worcester. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily living, including residents living with dementia. Having nurses on duty at all hours means we can manage wound and pressure care, continence needs, diabetes, pain relief and end of life care, and it means somebody whose health declines can usually remain here rather than facing another move. For residents living with dementia we keep surroundings calm, routines predictable and staff consistent, and we give people the time they need to find their words. We want to be straightforward with you about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are working through the points raised, with particular attention to record keeping, staff supervision and the consistency of care planning, and we would much rather set that out ourselves and answer your questions than have you come across it elsewhere. Relatives are part of that work, because they are the ones who can tell whether things have genuinely changed. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, including nursing support after a hospital discharge. Families across Worcestershire are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
