About White Hill House Residential Care Home
White Hill House Residential Care Home is in Chesham, supporting older people, including those living with dementia and people living with sight or hearing loss, and some younger adults whose needs suit a home of this kind. We help with washing and dressing, medication, meals and anything else that has become difficult, and we try to leave people in charge of everything else. Residents decide when they get up and go to bed, where they spend the day, what they eat and whether they want company or a quiet room with the door closed. For residents living with dementia we keep the house familiar and the staff consistent, explain what is happening as we go and take time to understand what is behind a change in mood rather than treating it as a symptom. Where there is sight or hearing loss we adapt how we communicate, say who we are as we come into a room and take care not to move things without mentioning it. Meals are cooked here, we ask people what they actually want to eat and nobody is hurried through a plate. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time. Respite stays are available for family carers needing a break or for somebody regaining strength after illness. Please ring us if you would like to visit and look round.
