Nightingale Care and Nursing Home
Discover bespoke care and nursing support from a highly trained care team in our welcoming care home.
Nightingale Care and Nursing Home delivers affordable and high-quality nursing and residential care for its residents. Our remarkable £2 million renovation has transformed the home into an ideal destination for people requiring nursing and residential care, including palliative and end-of-life services.
We cater for up to 59 people at Nightingale Care and Nursing Home, including those living with dementia, ensuring a custom-tailored approach giving each resident personalised care. Our home boasts lovely interiors, cosy rooms, spacious common areas, and intimate lounges. On the ground floor we have a large lounge with TV and plenty of room for activities, with two additional lounges on the first floor.
As well as caring for you, we care about your families too. Our door is always open for a chat, and our residents’ and families’ forum gives you a way to support each other. Plus, your family members are welcome in at any time, for a cuppa, or to join us for a meal.
Social activities
We place great emphasis on social activities and maintaining the type of life you have had at home, whether that is a quiet and relaxed lifestyle or an active lifestyle.
We are nestled between three beautiful parks and they are perfect for our summer activities and annual picnics.
Singing and dancing are favourite activities at Nightingale, with regular singers performing a variety of music.
We are located just 15 minutes from Derby city centre which makes for a great day out for us to go shopping followed by a pub lunch.
Dining
At Nightingale Care and Nursing Home you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sourced wherever possible. Meals are served in our superb dining room, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Nutrition is an important part of the care we provide. That’s why our catering team take time to get to know your likes and dislikes before putting together a vibrant and varied menu for you to choose from.
Bedrooms
We’ve created a relaxed and homely environment for everyone, which isn’t at all clinical. We want you to feel comfortable, and for your family members to feel like they’re visiting their relative’s home.
Following a large investment, the home has undergone exciting development work, and a complete, state-of-the-art refurbishment.
There are 59 bedrooms at Nightingale Care and Nursing Home across two floors. Most of our rooms have ensuites, but the ones without, have a washbasin in the room and an accessible bathroom nearby. Many of the bedrooms look out onto the garden, and most of our ground-floor bedrooms have direct garden access.
Gardens
We have a lovely garden with level lawns at the front of the house, and another secure and enclosed one at the back of the home. There are planters and beds for flowers and vegetables, plus plenty of room to sit out and enjoy the sunshine. Our residents love to watch the wildlife in the garden, or simply enjoy a cup of tea with visiting loved ones.

The utmost care was given to my mum-in-law in the short time she was in the Nightingale. She was happy and content in the knowledge she was being so very well looked after. As a family, we were kept informed every step of the way, i.e. if she was unwell or the staff had any concerns. The atmosphere in the home is very happy, and the staff are all approachable. They are all our guardian angels. Thank you for everything.

I first went to view the Nightingale in June and was immediately impressed with the condition of the building and how friendly the staff were. My mum only lived there for six months due to her passing. The staff were helpful and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The staff always kept us informed if there were any issues. My mum made some close friends and absolutely loved her time there. I wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else for her to stay.

‘Everyone made us and Mum really welcome, home is smart, clean and well furnished. The staff are lovely, all introduced themselves to us, can’t do enough for us. Really happy with the home. Car park accessible.”

If you would like to view our home then don’t hesitate to give us a call and we would be happy to arrange a no obligation home visit. Alternatively, we have regular coffee mornings where anyone is able to pop in. This is great opportunity to get to know our team and residents.
Once you become a resident at our home, there are no set visiting hours, so your family and friends are free to come and go as much as they want.
Prior to your move in to our home, you’ll receive a free no obligation care assessment so we can understand your care needs and create a care plan that suits you best. Your family is welcome to join this process. This allows us to create a bespoke care package that allows you to have the best quality of life.
Plus, through our portal, you and your loved ones can easily check on your care with real-time updates on medication, nutrition, welfare, and more. Read notes from our care teams and keep tabs on the care you receive—all at the click of a button.
Funding may be available from your local authority. Firstly, they will check how much help and what kind of care you need: this is the needs assessment. Following on from that, the free financial assessment calculates the total cost of care and how much you’ll need to contribute.
If you don’t want a financial assessment you can choose to pay for your care home yourself – this is called self-funding.
Here at Nightingale we offer tailored 24-hour a day respite care that allows you to continue living life your way with as much support you may need from our care team.
This could be a one-off stay, to give a regular family carer a much-needed break, or a regular arrangement to give you variety in your care. Our personalised care can last as long as you need it to and can start within 24-hours.
Yes, we are delighted to welcome visitors into our home. Once you become a resident at our home, there are no set visiting hours, so your family and friends are free to come and go as much as they want.
