The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home has a long history of providing pioneering and cutting edge nursing care. While most of the residents are long-term we also welcome ex-Service men and women for convalescence after hospital treatment or to provide two to four week short-term respite, with nursing and medical treatment.
The nursing care is organised on the basis of a multi-disciplinary approach that aims to keep the focus firmly on the resident. We have found that this approach delivers the best results and by keeping the resident central to the process they are empowered and that much more motivated than if their decisions were taken away from them.
Through the assessment procedure we are able to ascertain the different levels of nursing care that residents require. There are three different levels of nursing care; low, medium and high dependency. One of our prime aims is to always maintain a home-like environment supported by high quality nursing, professional therapy and rehabilitation programmes.
