Residential Care Homes Welcoming Gloucestershire Families

Residential Care Whitchurch, Close to Gloucestershire

Whitchurch House sits just across the Herefordshire border from Gloucestershire, within the Wye Valley, making it a natural choice for families in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury looking for accommodation at a care home within easy reach. Our restored Georgian home is registered for 29 residents and comprises two dining areas, four lounges and level, well-maintained gardens — a peaceful setting away from traffic, yet conveniently placed for visiting from across the county.

We are privately owned rather than part of a large operator, which means every resident is known personally by our team, and care decisions are made locally rather than dictated from a head office. Many Gloucestershire families tell us this personal, family-run feel is what sets Whitchurch House apart.

Facilities Designed for Comfort

Residents from across Gloucestershire enjoy spacious ensuite bedrooms available in a range of sizes, from single rooms to larger double rooms for couples or those who wish to bring extra furniture, four communal lounges, two dining areas and level, accessible gardens with well-maintained walkways — all set within a sensitively restored Georgian house near Ross-on-Wye. Every room is individually decorated, and residents are encouraged to bring personal items and furniture to make their space feel truly their own.
