About Wendover House
Here at Wendover House, we provide residential care for people in the heart of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Our home supports younger adults living with learning disabilities and autism, as well as those with visual or hearing impairments, and we also offer respite care for those who need a short break or some additional support at certain points in their lives. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our aim is to make Wendover House feel like exactly that, a home, somewhere people feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely at ease in their day to day lives. We work hard to understand each person as an individual, learning what matters to them, what their routines look like, and how we can best support them to live as independently as possible. Supporting people with learning disabilities and autism requires a thoughtful and flexible approach, and our team works closely with residents and their families to ensure that care is shaped around the person rather than the other way around. For those with visual or hearing impairments, we think carefully about how we communicate and how the environment works for each individual. We are open about the fact that our most recent CQC inspection identified areas where we need to improve, and we are actively working through those areas with a clear focus on getting things right. We would rather be honest about where we are than gloss over it, and we are committed to making the changes needed so that residents and families can feel confident in the care we provide. If you would like to find out more about Wendover House or arrange a visit, we would be very happy to hear from you.
