About Olive Grove Nursing Home

Located in Forest Town, Mansfield, Olive Grove is a 50-bed nursing home providing care for older people and those living with dementia. The home is situated in Nottinghamshire's East Midlands region and is operated by Affinity Care Consortium Ltd.

The home was rated Good by the Care Quality Commission following its most recent inspection in April 2022. As a nursing home, it provides 24-hour nursing care alongside personal support. The specialised dementia provision means staff have training and experience in supporting residents with memory loss and related conditions, with appropriate adaptations to the physical environment and daily routines.

The moderate size of 50 beds allows for a balance between maintaining a community atmosphere and having sufficient staffing and facilities. Prospective residents and families should note that this rating reflects the home's standards at the time of inspection, and circumstances may have changed since then.
