REGISTERED NURSING HOMES
There are four private nursing homes registered in the borough.
These homes are visited periodically by Senior Nursing Staff and Principal Medical Officers
when special concern is expressed or a complaint received.
During inspection visits, which are usually made without prior notice, attention is drawn to
such matters as general care and nursing, diet and fire prevention. Special visits are paid during the
cold weather to ensure that adequate heating is provided.
During the year one home has undertaken extensive alterations to comply with new regulations in fire prevention and satisfactorily carried out.
