A nurse on duty, day and night
Nursing care
For people with medical needs that require a registered nurse. Your health board pays a contribution towards this nursing care, whatever your savings.
There is a registered nurse in the building at every hour of every day. That is what the higher fee pays for. It means someone can deal with a catheter at 3am, manage a syringe driver, or see that a chest is getting worse.
Before you move in, our nurse visits you at home or in hospital to assess what is needed. We will be honest if your needs are beyond us. The nurses manage medicines, wound care, PEG feeds, catheters and pain relief, and work with your GP and the district teams from Glangwili and Prince Philip hospitals.
Your health board assesses you for Funded Nursing Care, and pays that directly to us. Some people qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which covers all of the fee. Ask us: we will explain the process, and we will help you ask for an assessment.

Questions about nursing care
What if needs change?
We reassess, and we will talk to you honestly. Many people move from residential to nursing without changing rooms.
Who is the GP?
You can usually stay with your own surgery if it covers the area. Otherwise we help you register with a local one.
