Nursing Care

Nursing care can vary depending on the needs of the individual. However, at Mearns View, we are able to provide a variety of nursing services to meet different care needs, whatever they might be. Our nursing staff is able to coordinate with other healthcare providers and ensure that a resident’s care plan accurately reflects their health and well-being needs.

If you notice any of the following signs in your loved one, it may be time to consider nursing care:

• Difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADLs), such as washing, dressing, or grooming
• Worsening chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or dementia
• Recent hospitalisations or emergency room visits
• Recent falls or accidents
• Significant weight loss or changes in appetite
• Increased confusion or forgetfulness
• Difficulty managing medications or complying with treatment plans
• Need for specialised medical equipment or care, such as oxygen therapy or wound care

Our nursing team will be able to assess the level of care that is required and provide guidance on the most suitable type of care for your relative. It is important to communicate openly with your loved one and involve them in the decision-making process as much as possible.

Mearns View Care Home has the responsibility of ensuring the safety of its residents, and this includes those who receive nursing care. This can be achieved by providing adequate staffing levels, ensuring that our nursing staff is properly trained and qualified, implementing protocols for infection control and medication management, and conducting regular safety audits and assessments. We have also put security measures in place to prevent unauthorised access to protect residents’ safety.
