Care Suites – supported living for people with nursing needs
Lorraine Cousins — Manager
Cornford House is a recently built home in extensive and peaceful grounds on the outskirts of Pembury Village, near Tunbridge Wells. It provides accommodation for residents with nursing care needs and it offers a choice of either studio or one bedroom care suites.
Most of the accommodation is for physically frail older people but the home also incorporates a specialist unit to care for older people with dementia type illnesses. Full 24 hour nursing care is available for all residents, so that most residents can have a home for life within the scheme. Residents’ spouses can also be accommodated, so that couples can stay together even when one develops the need for on-going care.
Cornford House focuses on providing relationship-centred care and so a high priority is given to fostering and nurturing relationships between residents, their family and friends and the healthcare professionals who work in and visit the home.
