About Whitehaven Care Home
Whitehaven Care Home is in Radstock, and we provide residential care for adults living across Bath and North East Somerset. We support older people, residents living with dementia, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities and those with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays as well. We think a care home should feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere people are placed. In practice that means the ordinary things are taken seriously. Food that residents actually want to eat. Help offered in a way that leaves someone their dignity. Enough staff who have been here long enough to know that Mrs So and So does not like being rushed in the morning. Sensory loss is easy to overlook in a busy home, and we try not to. Good lighting, clear speech, sitting where someone can see your face, taking the time to check that a message has landed. None of it is expensive, but it changes how included a person feels. Respite is available for families who need a break or for someone who needs support for a few weeks while they recover their strength. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Radstock is a friendly place and we are part of it, so please call in, have a look and talk to us about what you are trying to arrange.
