Hammerson House
Wohl Campus
In 2012, Hammerson House merged with Nightingale House, our home in Clapham. It is a great testament to the Hammerson Family that we are able to continue their vision in providing a wonderful home, offering exceptional care.
In 2018, the original Hammerson House building was demolished to make way for our new, modern, innovative Care Home, Hammerson House, Wohl Campus. The 116 bedrooms have been carefully designed within this beautiful home for our community to enjoy in their older years. We anticipate our home will be recognised in the sector as the new standard of care for the future.
Our care
The care of our Residents is always our first priority at Nightingale Hammerson. We offer different levels of support, enabling Residents to be cared for according to their specific needs. This includes residential, nursing, dementia and palliative Care. We also offer respite care, which can support an individual following a stay in hospital or if care at home is temporarily unavailable.
We focus on a relationship centred care approach. This encompasses a participant’s appreciation and relevance of their relationship with one another. It highlights the importance of meeting the needs of the Resident but also addresses the needs of relatives and care teams. We recognise that quality care only happens when there are strong relationships between everyone involved in a Resident’s care.
Residential care
Residential care needs are specifically tailored for each Resident. This may vary from basic support, personal care and medication management to more complex care needs, if these arise. Residential Residents enjoy a hugely engaging and sociable environment which will support and enable independence. This could involve inviting friends over for lunch or a drink, visiting the hair salon, joining in one or more of our many clubs or taking part in an array of activities or trips. Or, simply, just enjoying the garden.
Nursing care
24 hour Nursing care is available for Residents who have more complex health and care needs. A care plan is devised to best support the holistic needs of the individual Resident. Residents, should they wish and are able, can still take part in our engagement activities and can enjoy many of the benefits that these bring.
We also care for those who are reaching their last days of life and can be looked after within a compassionate, caring environment that is homely and comfortable.
Dementia care
We train our care teams to ensure they have an excellent understanding of the pathologies involved in dementia care. They learn the skills needed to observe Residents, how they interact with their surroundings and to understand the impact the environment has on a Resident living with dementia.
Our dementia households are carefully designed to meet the needs of Residents living with dementia. Every activity, engagement and interaction is carefully planned to meet their needs, all of whom will be at different stages of their journey living with dementia.
Respite care
We offer respite care for those wishing to stay for a shorter time period. This may be due to rehabilitation, post-operative care, convalescence after a hospital admission or simply to offer some rest to relatives at Home or when care may not be available. Nightingale Hammerson will design a specific care plan to meet the person’s needs during this period of admission, which may vary from two weeks to a few months.
One-to-one care
One-to-one care is available, when required, for Residents with complex health and social care needs, but also for companionship or therapeutic reasons. One-to-one care will carry an additional cost.
