Nursing

It is the quality of Nursing Care that distinguishes Blanchelande Park as being an outstanding Home. Matron Liz Cozens can call on her extensive experience of caring for elderly people in Guernsey. Both she and her deputy, Angela Thoume have achieved qualifications in Care of the Older Person. They are highly qualified to lead their team of Registered General Nurses (RGNs).

There is at least one RGN on duty at all times, day and night. They are chosen for their experienced in Care of the Older Person and continually update their knowledge by attending courses in this area.

The RGNs are supported by sufficient care assistants, ready to provide expertise and knowledge, enabling them to provide care for residents when the need arises including Palliative Care. At least half of our carers hold the NVQ Level 3 qualification in Care.

When you decide to make Blanchelande Park Nursing and Residential Home your home, you can be assured that our excellent care team can provide whatever level of care you require.
