Ledbury Community Health and Care Centre

Ledbury Community Health and Care Centre was built in 2002. It is a modern, well-equipped Care Centre, staffed by dedicated professionals who are committed to providing quality care for patients. As well as the Nursing staff, there are teams of professional staff such as Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, who will help you with your recovery.

While you are staying here your medical care will be provided by a combination of General Practitioners and Consultants, supported by highly trained staff. As soon as possible after you arrive a doctor from one of the local surgeries will visit to assess you. If you have been transferred from another hospital specific instructions about your care will have been sent with you and any medication your need and your medical records and x-rays will be available here.

The rooms have 1 or 2 beds in each and are single sex so you will not have to share a room with someone of the opposite sex.

To make your stay more comfortable:

• There is a pay phone for patient's use and televisions in all rooms. You can also watch television or listen to the radio in the Dayroom, which is where meals are served. If you are well enough you will be encouraged to have your meals in the Dayroom.
• Visiting hours are 2pm to 8pm. We do not encourage visiting outside these times except in exceptional circumstances or by prior arrangement.
• There is a choice of menu for each meal and you will be asked to select your choice for the next day. If you require a special diet because of your condition this will be provided. Please let staff now if you have any other special requirements.
• There are water coolers near the rooms.
• Ministers of all the local churches will visit on request.
• Our staff can arrange for a hairdresser to come to the Centre.

There is a small charge for parking at the Centre.
