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.

Weystone Manor Care Home

I recently had an opportunity to visit Weystone Manor for a tour (prior to opening so work was still in progress). Made up of four residential areas each is tastefully decorated in a different style and each has its own dining area. Communal furniture is very comfortable. Both premium and standard rooms are available, all en-suite, and the rooms are light, spacious and nicely furnished. Accommodation can be either long stay or short respite care. A private viewing cinema is also available and a wide range of activities is planned for the residents' enjoyment.

The team members I met were friendly and helpful and I am sure they are looking forward to welcoming their first residents. I wish them well.

Weystone Manor Care Home

I’ve had two opportunities to view the Weystone Manor Care Home, Woking, which is due to open early in April 2026.
Clearly the furnishings are high quality in both the residents’ rooms and the common parts (lounges, kitchen areas, etc), and the rooms are admirably spacious.
Beyond that it’s clear that great forethought has informed the overall design and functionality of this new building.
I wish Weystone Manor and its residents the best when it opens
