Nightingale Care and Nursing Home in Caxton Street, Sunny Hill will deliver high quality, person-centred residential and nursing care for 59 people, including those living with dementia, and is already accepting expressions of interest from residents.
As well as leading Nightingale, Donna is also the Registered Manager of our Foylebank Care Home in Chaddesden in Derby, which is also rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Donna, said:
Nightingale has all the makings of a truly fantastic care and nursing home, with great facilities following the extensive refurbishment and renovation work. I am very excited to lead an excellent care team and look forward to building a warm and welcoming community in the home by getting to know each and every resident and their loved ones.
I feel privileged to embark upon the next chapter in my career back in my home city with Agincare, which is family-owned and places a genuine emphasis on person centred care based on the wishes and needs of each resident.”

We’re fully renovating Nightingale Care and Nursing Home to a high standard from top to bottom. That includes all bedrooms, accessible and en-suite bathrooms, communal lounges, kitchens, lift access to all floors, and gardens for residents to enjoy.
