Care shaped around you

When considering care for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to find a place that values you for the unique person that you are. At Barchester, our dedicated teams seek to understand more than care needs. We get to know each person’s life story, passions and preferences to shape their care, support and experiences.

Meaningful moments

We believe it’s important to find joy, purpose and fulfilment in each day, whatever that looks like for you. Whether it’s enjoying your favourite hobby, joining a group activity or being supported to try something new, we’re always finding ways to nourish the mind, body and soul. With close connections with our local communities we’re able to bring the outside in, as well as planning regular trips to places of local interest.

Westvale House Care Home

This was my aunts home for three and a half years. The staff went above and beyond especially at the end of her life. I would have no hesitation in recommending Westvale to family and friends. I’ve been in to visit a couple of times since her passing and love the new refurbishment.

Shelburne Lodge Care Home

My mother moved into shelburne lodge in april 2024 when Diana was manager. From the moment we got through the door my mum was treated with the upmost respect and dignity. All the staff are friendly and caring and take pride in their work. Myself and my son was made very welcome from the start and throughout. Helen the activities leader goes above and beyond to entertain the residents and families and does an amazing job. My mother was there 6 months until her passing and shelburne lodge became my extended family. A year and a half later and we still go to visit everyone.
