End of life support
Comfort, personal care and honest boundaries
This page describes questions to discuss with the registered manager. It does not promise nursing care or an in-house clinical service.
Residential scope
What Summerhill can discuss
The team can discuss personal care, comfort and family support, including how a resident's GP, district nursing team, hospice or other NHS professionals may be involved. Summerhill is a residential care home and does not provide nursing care. Admission depends on individual assessment.
Working with others
External clinicians remain external
Where appropriate, the home may coordinate with a GP, district nursing team, hospice or other clinician. Those professionals remain responsible for their own clinical work and are not an in-house Summerhill service.
Before any decision
Talk with the registered manager
The manager will discuss the person's needs, the current scope and the practical support available before an admission decision.
