Meet The Manager
Donna Lukoschus is The Registered Manager at Nightingale Care & Nursing Home.
I feel privileged to embark upon the next chapter in my career back in my home city with Agincare, which is family-owned and places a genuine emphasis on person-centred care based on the wishes and needs of each resident.
Nightingale Care & Nursing Home in Sunny Hill, Derby, will open after a full refurbishment and restoration.
Our home provides high-quality residential, nursing, end-of-life and palliative care for older people with dementia.
We have a wealth of specialist experience of caring for people with mixed care and nursing needs. At Nightingale, we don’t label people. We treat everyone as an individual. As their needs change, so do the level and type of care they receive from us. Nightingale is their home.
Our home is well-connected to the local community with a bus stop right outside, three parks at an easy walking distance, and the Royal Derby Hospital just a 10 minute drive away.
As well as caring for our residents we care about their families too. We don’t have set visiting times, and our door is always open for a chat. We also have a quarterly residents’ and families’ forum and listen to feedback and suggestions.
