St Ives Disabled Care Centre

St. Ives is a comfortable and supportive home for those with physical disabilities. The home is located in its own grounds and surrounded by woodlands and recreational spaces. It provides a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for service users, families and friends.

St. Ives is unique among nursing homes in the area, enjoying an enviable reputation for the quality of its nursing and care. Respect for the privacy, dignity and freedom of choice of those using or living at the home is maintained and respected at all times. St Ives also benefits from cottages for those more able to cope with day to day living but with assistance at hand, as well as being an outstanding comfort holiday & respite facility for family's or friends to enjoy a short break away with peace of mind that qualified, helpful staff are on hand 24hrs a day. Our care and surroundings are tailored for the individual needs of our service users providing a comfortable, enjoyable, and cared for environment..

St Ives offers the finest standard of professional health care with highly qualified and experienced staff, who pride themselves on placing the needs, wishes and decisions of service users at the centre of day to day life.

"As an independent physiotherapist working at St Ives nursing home for the past 3 years, I have always found the home a pleasant, warm, welcoming environment for both the residents and the staff who all have a good working relationship and professional attitude. The home is run efficiently with all resident's individual needs met to a high standard with affection and great dignity. In comparison to other similar homes, the lifting and handling techniques used are advanced, dealing with the most disable individuals with relative ease. This is a key attribute to the home. All the residents needs both financially and socially are catered for within the home by long term staff. During the year, St Ives holds several events that the residents enjoy; helping to raise funds for trips and social equipment within the home. Last year, the Elder Homes Group, now responsible for St ives have upgrade the accommodation and amenities, making the home more comfortable for the residents." Gillian Stead Grad Dip Phys MCSP, SRP, HPC "As parents, it is apparent that visiting our daughter has an inherent, built in stress factor. Each time we arrive we find that the staff who are responsible for the immediate circumstances in our draughts surroundings maintain a cheerful helpfulness. We are always kept well informed, and they do all they can to help us during each difficult situation, as it arises after a while, many have become more friends, than simple assistants, and so we feel happy with our daughters placement at St. Ives. Thank you everybody." Pip and Hazel Wilcox
