Nursing Care at St. David's
Nursing Care
St. David's core strength lies in the excellent nursing care that it delivers to its residents.
Qualified nursing staff are on duty 24 hours a day working with a team of friendly care assistants. The home is visited on a weekly basis by the local GP. A hairdresser, chiropodist and optician also visit regularly. Whether you need a little respite care or have complex nursing requirements we can accommodate you.
The assessment and evaluation of each resident's circumstances and health on a regular basis is a key element in administering individualised
and appropriate care. To achieve this certain services are available at St. David's:
- GP cover is provided by the Sheringham Medical Practice. A regular doctor attends weekly rounds with additional visits as required. Of course, you can also be seen by your current GP if you prefer.
- Emergency cover is available twenty four hours a day and where hospital intervention is necessary, there are several hospitals that are used including the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital.
- Liaison with Macmillan nurses allows for the provision of the highest standard of care for those residents occupying our palliative or terminal care beds.
- Visiting Opticians provide an annual eye test for all residents and can provide spectacles if prescriptions change.
- A visiting Chiropodist visits the centre every few weeks.
- A physiotherapist is available when required, and our care staff are able to provide daily physiotherapy as part of the program designed for each individual.
- These services may be accessed either via the NHS or privately depending on individual circumstances.
- A local hairdresser visits St. David's regularly and arrangements can be made privately for hairdressing. Other beauty therapies are available if required on a private basis.
- All patients have a right to input from Social Services and this can be accessed free of charge by contacting the local team.
