Nursing Homes Registration Act. 1927.
The Wimbledon Borough Council is responsible for the
supervision of Nursing Homes in Wimbledon. At the end of
the year there were fourteen registered nursing homes,
namely:—
Nursing Homes for Maternity Cases 1
Nursing Homes for Medical, Surgical, and
Maternity Cases 3
Nursing Homes for Children and Maternity
Cases 1
Nursing Homes for Medical, Surgical, and
Chronic Cases 1
Nursing Homes for General Medical and
Chronic Cases 1
Nursing Homes for Chronic Cases 7
Total 14
A certificate of re-registration was issued by the Council
in respect of a Nursing Home for children and maternity
cases.
Intimation was also received that Nursing Homes for the
following types of patient were being discontinued:—
Nursing Homes for Chronic Cases 2
Nursing Homes for Maternity Cases 1
Nursing Homes for Medical and Maternity
Cases 1
Nursing Homes for Maternity and Chronic
Cases 1
Total 5
The Nursing Homes were periodically inspected and
supervised. Several alterations were found necessary and
these were carried out. In one case it was found necessary
to replace fire extinguishers which had become inefficient.
In another Nursing Home an electric fire was installed in a
room in which there had previously been a gas fire with an
inadequate flue for ventilation.
The Nursing Homes in Wimbledon during the year under
review were again found to be maintained in a satisfactory
manner.
