Nursing Care

All residents will be assessed by the local authority to see if you are eligible for NHS Funded Nursing Care. This is a contribution to the cost of care and is not means tested. This means it is eligible for everyone who is assessed as requiring nursing care. If you are not eligible but still wish to reside at Mount Olivet, you may do so but would have to fund the full cost of care yourself.

All rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art electric beds for comfort and to aid the prevention of sores. The home is comprehensively equipped with a number of hoists, stand aids and specialist baths to make mobilising and bathing as seamless as possible.
