Care at
Weald Heights

Residential care

Weald Heights provides a home from home atmosphere combined with a hotel-style environment. Our creative lifestyle team organise a range of engaging activities from  singalongs to gentle exercises and art and crafts. We are passionate about ensuring residents maintain a meaningful lifestyle and support residents to continue to enjoy the hobbies they love, as well as trying new things.

Residents are encouraged to make their own choices of how they spend their day, whether this is enjoying a slice of cake in the coffee shop, watching a film in the cinema of getting pampered in the hair and beauty salon.

Because our team places residents at the heart of everything, when they decided Weald Heights needed a dog, Lola arrived, and she is very much loved - and a little it spoiled, by everyone.

Nursing care

Led from the top by Home Manager and former Nurse, Maria, the nursing care we offer at Weald Heights is of the very highest standard. By working closely with GPs and specialist medical professionals, our highly skilled clinical team produces a comprehensive care plan tailored to your loved one’s needs and requirements, reviewing it regularly to ensure it’s up to date. Experienced at providing support for complex conditions, including parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and motor neurone disease, you can relax knowing that your loved one is being taken care of.

Nursing dementia care

As well as supporting older people living with dementia, our empathetic team is experienced in caring for additional physical complications such as diabetes, stroke or brain injuries. Designing a tailored care plan, with the aid of GPs and medical specialists, we ensure your loved one has everything necessary to enjoy a comfortable, contented lifestyle.

Respite care

Our excellent short-term respite care is available to older people being looked after in the community, giving hard-working carers a valuable lifeline in the form of a much-needed break. Recharge physically and emotionally, while we step in to lighten the load. We can also ease the transition from hospital stay to home life, with our convalescent care.

End of life care

We provide discreet support through the emotional journey of your loved one’s final days and hours. A detailed palliative plan is drawn up, in close collaboration with your family, GP and medical specialists, ensuring that they are pain-free, comfortable and at peace during this time.

We are proud to be accredited with the Gold Standards Framework Care Homes Programme. This demonstrates our skill and commitment to delivering high quality, person-centred care to residents at the end of their life.

Getting to know you

We take the time to get to know you and your loved one, putting each individual's needs, desires and choices at the heart of the care we provide.

Dementia friendly environments

Our immediate surroundings can have a huge impact on our quality of life, particularly when trying to make sense of the world around us. We work with academic partners to create care home environments that help people living with dementia to live as independent and stress-free a life as possible.

Our people and training

Our people are chosen for their attitude, dedication and caring nature, and we are committed to their on-going training and development. From our carers and nurses, to our activity coordinators, chefs and maintenance teams, we will go the extra mile to build strong relationships – not just with individuals living in our care homes, but also with their friends and family.

Support for families and carers

We understand that a dementia diagnosis will affect more than just one individual, and we're here to support you and your family. Seeing a loved one change can be a difficult and heart-breaking experience and often the process of needing or delivering care can change family relationships significantly.

Namaste care

We are proud to offer namaste care to residents living with advanced dementia. The purpose of namaste care is to give comfort and pleasure through sensory stimulation. Our namaste sessions are run by trained carers and involve individual caring touch, such as a hand or foot massages, music therapy, themed sensory and gentle movement sessions, or simply reminiscing.

Care Fit for VIPS

We are proud to have been internally accredited with the evidence-based, person-centred ‘Care Fit for VIPS’ developed by dementia experts at The Associate of Dementia Studies at The University of Worcester. The framework is centred around valuing those living with dementia, treating everyone as an individual, showing empathy towards those living with the condition, and recognising the need for a stimulating social environment.
