OUR NURSING CARE SETS US APART

We don’t rely on community nursing

It is inevitable that, sooner or later, most elderly care residents will need nursing care, yet over the last decade, we have seen many care home operators move away from offering nursing care, relying instead on visiting community nurses.

At Abbotts Barton, we have always believed that nursing is an intrinsic part of elderly care, and that as a care home, we have a moral obligation to provide our residents with whatever care they need, whenever they need it.

 

Reassurance 24 hours a day, seven days a week

You can’t put a price on peace of mind. We employ highly-skilled nurses to be on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that our residents can enjoy their homely surroundings, vibrant atmosphere and beautiful gardens with the reassurance that should they require nursing assistance at any time of the day or night, it’s not only available immediately, it’s provided by nurses they know, and who know them.

Your Care Services

Assisted Care

Our care teams assist with all aspects of daily living for our residents, from personal care to taking regular medications, working flexibly to promote independence providing support to maintain the physical care and comfort of residents.

Nursing Care

Abbotts Barton’s nurses are available for all residents, at all times. We believe that’s 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.

Residential Care

Our residential care service is designed to provide a comfortable and relaxed home environment where home maintenance, laundry, cooking and housekeeping are taken care of on your behalf.

Short Stay & Respite

We offer the same high quality care services enjoyed by our long-term residents on a short-term basis. Whether it’s for a short period of recovery, a respite break or simply a trial run for those looking for a permanent move, we offer a home from home where residents can live their life, their way.

Dementia Care

Although Abbotts Barton is not a dementia home, we are committed to supporting our residents to live meaningful and fulfilled lives, and that includes those living with the earlier stages of dementia or cognitive impairment.

End Of Life Care

We want people to live well with us, making the most of every single day. If that means being together until the end of life, we want our residents to die well with dignity with family around, in familiar surroundings with staff they know well.

Wish you were here!

We aim to make every day worth writing about, and enjoy keeping loved ones up to date with what’s going on within Abbotts Barton. Here are some of our residents’ recent highlights.

“I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks for the care and companionship you gave to my Mum in the last year of her life. She may have grumbled occasionally but she never failed to tell me how lovely you all were and how hard you worked. She settled into her room well and especially loved the garden at Abbotts Barton. Thank you all so much again for everything.”

“I would like to thank you and your amazing team at Abbotts Barton for the tremendous care and respect that you showed to mum in the the last year of her life, we all knew that she was not happy to leave her home in Alresford when the time came, but due to you and your team the move and subsequent stay with you was a very happy time in her life. Thank you for your kind wishes.”

The words of our residents and relatives say more than we ever could.

“I just wanted to express our profound appreciation of the care she received at Abbotts Barton. I think the reason for my delay in telling you this has been that I have been lost for words. How to properly thank such a large team for the care that you gave our mother. Perhaps I should settle for the wording in my eulogy at Romsey Abbey: that at Abbotts Barton our mother received exemplary, loving care from people of all nations. For this is it in a nutshell- that whatever their role at the home, each and every member of your team did their upmost to help her settle and to feel at home, so that by the end, our mother was among friends whom she trusted and in her own words – “loved”. I have met exceptional individuals at Abbotts Barton in many different roles and I will never forget them. As a family we had much to be thankful for that day.”

“Dear all, I would just like to express the gratitude of the family for your care of her in her last few hours, and then to come and collect her chair and be told you don’t intend to charge for the time is quite overwhelming. It was the way you care for her in respite after a hip operation in 2016 that persuaded her to come to come in for end-of-life-care. Thank you.”
