Residential Care at Whitchurch House
When families are looking for a care home, they want reassurance that their loved one will feel safe, comfortable and valued. At Whitchurch House, we provide a homely setting where residents can enjoy independence while receiving the care and support they need.
Comfortable rooms to suit every preference
We offer a variety of bedrooms designed to meet different needs. Some residents prefer the privacy of a single room, while others enjoy the companionship of sharing. Many of our rooms include en suite facilities, giving residents the added convenience of their own bathroom. For those seeking a little extra comfort, private accommodation options are also available.
Making a room feel like home
Familiar surroundings help new residents settle in more quickly. That is why we encourage people to bring their own furniture and treasured belongings. Whether it is a favourite chair, family photographs or ornaments, these personal touches make each room feel unique. Our team is also happy to support residents in decorating and arranging their space so it truly reflects their personality.
Daily life and activities
Life at Whitchurch House is far from routine. Each week we organise a programme of activities, from music and arts sessions to gentle exercise, quizzes and crafts. These daily and weekly events give residents something to look forward to and help maintain a sense of purpose. For those seeking variety, there is always something different to try, with activities designed to be inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.
Trips and community involvement
Our care extends beyond the front door. Regular outings to local attractions, shops and cafés provide opportunities for fresh air and change of scenery. We also encourage residents to take part in community events, keeping those important social connections alive. These trips and activities outside the home are a highlight for many and add vibrancy to daily life.
Different levels of care
We provide support that adapts to individual needs. Alongside long-term residential care, we also offer specialist dementia support and respite stays for families who may need short-term help. Although we are not a nursing home, we work closely with healthcare professionals to ensure residents receive appropriate medical attention when required.
Care tailored to the individual
No two residents are the same, which is why we take a person-centred approach. Each individual has a personalised care plan created in consultation with them and their family. These plans are reviewed regularly, making sure support always reflects changing needs and preferences. This approach ensures care is not only practical but also respectful and reassuring.
Shared spaces for relaxation and socialising
Alongside private rooms, Whitchurch House offers a choice of communal areas. Cosy lounges provide a place to sit and chat with friends, while larger spaces are used for group activities and events. For quieter moments, there are relaxation areas where residents can read, listen to music or simply enjoy some peace.
Gardens and outdoor areas
Time outdoors is important for wellbeing. Our safe and accessible gardens offer space for walks, fresh air and seasonal gardening activities. Whether enjoying a sunny afternoon on the lawn or a quiet stroll along the paths, these outdoor spaces give residents the freedom to connect with nature in a secure setting.
Meals and menu choices
Mealtimes are an important part of life at Whitchurch House. Our menus are carefully planned to provide variety, balance and nutrition, while also catering for specific dietary needs, including vegetarian and medically prescribed diets. Residents are offered a choice of meals each day, allowing them to select dishes they enjoy while maintaining a healthy diet.
