Nursing Is In Our DNA<\/h1>\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Kingfishers\u2019 nurses are available for all residents, at all times. We believe that\u2019s the bedrock of a safe and happy home, providing nurse-led care to manage complex medical conditions, whilst ensuring all residents can stay within their familiar and comfortable home setting should their care needs change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The Reassurance of Around-The-Clock Nursing<\/h4>\n

We employ our own highly-skilled nurses to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n

This sets us apart from many other care operators who, over the last 10 years, have moved away from providing nursing care, instead relying on visiting community nurses.<\/p>\n

We have always believed that nursing is an intrinsic part of elderly care, and our nurses play a crucial role in ensuring our “All About Me” philosophy of care is delivered to our residents.<\/p>\n

They oversee the care of residents, delegating responsibility to senior care leads and carers whilst also taking a hands-on role in areas such as administering medication, keeping track of nutrition and fluids, managing wound care and much more.<\/p>\n

Their presence in the home at all times of the day and night provides tremendous reassurance to residents and their families, knowing that a familiar face is on hand to provide whatever care they need, whenever they need it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Individually Tailored Care Plans<\/h4>\n

We treat every resident as an individual, and build individually tailored care plans focussed on the resident\u2019s needs to ensure they feel safe, involved and supported.<\/p>\n

Led by our nurses, a resident\u2019s care plan makes sure the whole team is working toward the same goals, and it\u2019s constantly reviewed so that it can be adapted to reflect changing needs and preferences.<\/p>\n

Care planning is an on-going process. Our \u2018All About Me\u2019 care philosophy puts the resident at the heart of all we do, and their care plan sits centrally to this approach. \u00a0Our nurses ensure residents\u2019 physical and psychological needs are prioritised, and that their individual preferences are respected by everyone involved in their care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
