These are often needs that cannot be managed at home or in a care home. At Lakeshore, our nursing care is led by our own exceptionally trained Registered General Nurses (RGNs). Our RGNs have extensive practice in nursing adults providing a full range of clinical care and treatments for a very wide range of medical conditions that require specialist care and monitoring. The RGNs are supported by well-trained care staff who work to support and enhance resident outcomes whilst giving kind, empathetic, and person-centred care to everyone.

We take the time to get to know each resident to ensure that their medical and quality of life needs are met. Their social and emotional needs are equally important, which means we treat every resident with the respect and validation they deserve.

We work with the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital enabling us to protect residents by delivering ‘Virtual Ward’ care.

This allows our RGNs to provide more critical care treatment that would otherwise require a hospital admission. This can include intravenous care, oxygen therapy and close monitoring of vital signs. These wards have been crucial in allowing residents to receive medical care in their own home and allowing family and friends to visit at any time and reduce the need for hospital admissions, giving our residents a greater choice in their care.

Here at Lakeshore our scope of nursing practice includes Phlebotomy, RIG & PEG care, wound care, catheter care, care of drains and many other specialities with updated practice and close links to the hospital specialist teams.
