Waverley House provides a specialist nursing care service for people with dementia. Accommodation is provided in spacious well lit rooms with ensuite facilities and decoration is designed to be in tune with the needs of our client group by the best use of colour and design. Walk-in shower facilities are provided along with well thought-out room layouts that provide security to those in our care. Waverley House is tastefully furnished providing a homely atmosphere for residents who are frail including those with dementia. Our restaurant offers home-cooked food, snacks and drinks on request. The structured environment and therapeutic activities provide and encourage confidence and assist in maximising independence. Residents at Waverley House receive tailored care and a positive and therapeutic structured support program – which includes physiological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, social, recreational and occupational needs.

Moving into residential or nursing care can be a difficult decision but is often necessary for older people who can no longer manage on their own or with the help of relatives, friends or other carers. But in Shaw care homes our friendly professional staff are trained to make the transition hassle free and ensure that independence and the key components of daily living are maintained as much as possible. We aim to provide you with choices - over your personal care, what and when you eat, whether you want some peace and quiet or to join in a range of social activities. All this is provided in homely and comfortable surroundings - and with your own private bedroom. There are two types of care home, those which provide personal care only and those which also provide nursing care. All homes provide meals, laundry service and personal care such as help with washing, dressing, general mobility and day-to-day tasks. Nursing homes provide all of these services but additionally they employ registered, trained nurses who are able to provide health-related care. Government assistance with the cost of this nursing care is available to everyone and is not means-tested.
