About Watermoor House

Watermoor House is a care home in Cirencester, providing residential care for older people across Gloucestershire, including residents living with dementia, and offering respite stays. We will start with the plain fact. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to bury that at the bottom of the page. We have worked through the report in detail, made changes to how care is planned, recorded and overseen, and put more support around the staff team so that problems are picked up by us before anyone else has to point them out. There is more to do, and we would rather tell you that than claim everything is already fixed. Ask us about it directly and you will get a direct answer. Meanwhile the daily work goes on and the people who live here deserve it done well. Help given at someone's own pace. Food worth sitting down to. Familiar faces for residents living with dementia, and a day that runs in an order they can recognise. Families kept properly informed rather than managed. Cirencester is a town we are part of, and visitors are welcome at ordinary times without ceremony. Respite stays are available for planned breaks and short periods of extra support. If you are considering us, come and look round on a normal day and talk to whoever you like.
