Nightingale
The home is situated in Ecclesfield, Sheffield, a stone’s throw from shops, local amenities and public transport and is easily reached by bus from the city centre. It’s proximity to the M1, makes it easily accessible from both the North and South of the country.
Nightingale is a spacious and stylish Care Home, registered with the Quality Care Commission to accommodate forty residents in thirty nine bedrooms. The majority boast en- suite facilities and all are fully equipped with telephone and television points, vanity basins, central heating and a high- tech nurse call system.
Our elegant, well appointed dining room and plush, comfortable lounge overlook the charming landscaped gardens and lush, green playing fields beyond. The beautiful grounds outside are perfect for enjoying the fresh air and delightful, picturesque surroundings. Residents are also welcome to take advantage of several sitting areas, a quiet lounge, hairdressing salon, large passenger lift, a number of assisted and unassisted bathrooms and off- street parking with level access.
Nightingale is famous for the gourmet meals prepared by the chef every day. The appetising, tasty and nutritious menu at Nightingale provides our residents with a healthy and varied diet. Specific dietary requirements and residents’ preferences are catered for. Meals are served in our lovely dining room but residents can dine in their own rooms if they wish.
The dedication and devotion of our highly-trained staff has established our reputation as an exceptionally ‘friendly and caring’ home. Our residents’ quality of life is greatly enhanced by the comfortable, warm and safe environment that Nightingale provides.
Our residents’ happiness and serenity is of paramount importance. Care programmes and activities at Nightingale are designed accordingly, to support individuality and independence. Each resident is encouraged to exercise choice in all aspects of their care. With our open visiting policy, guests are most welcome at all times.

Very friendly and caring care home. Staff can’t do enough for Mum and our family. Mum is treated as an individual, and everyone knows her little ways and quirks. She is clearly loved and cared for. There is always something happening at Nightingale, something for everyone. My mum doesn’t join in with activities, so it was fantastic to hear that one day she was taken out for lunch at a local farm.

Entertainment is excellent.

The management at Nightingale takes great pride in the way they look after the residents. The staff have a very difficult job looking after people with dementia. They work in a way that always treats people with dignity. The staff try very hard to entertain the residents as far as dementia will allow. The manager does an excellent job of making sure residents come first in any decision-making. All in all, they are doing a very good job with my mother-in-law, whose dementia is slowly getting worse.

Unfortunately, due to ill health, I am unable to care for my husband at home. However, I have peace of mind knowing he is well cared for while he is at Nightingale. I have seen how the staff treat my husband and others with kindness and respect. I frequently visit Nightingale and there is always a warm welcome. The staff are so friendly. I enjoy the outside area, it is wonderful to sit out with my husband. He, however, enjoys the pub!

I just want to say a big thank you to all the team for looking after my mum (who is a resident) so well. In a way, they also look after my dad who visits my mum daily. They make a painful experience of seeing my mum (or in my dad’s case, his wife), slightly less painful because of the love that exudes from every staff member. My mum was in another care home where staff sat looking at their phones and did the very basics. Well not at Nightingales, it is a superb example of putting the time and resources where it matters. It’s a horrible horrible heartbreaking feeling when placing your loved ones into care but the love and care shown by everyone really helps to reassure you. When I visit, I see a lot of what is happening as the team goes about their work and I feel humbled by the care, love and no little humour that is given to everyone. Thank you very much.
