About Westbourne Care Home
Westbourne Care Home is a residential care home in Gloucester, supporting older people and younger adults, including a good many people living with dementia. Families usually arrive at our door tired. The decision to move a relative into a care home is rarely made lightly and often comes after a long stretch of managing at home. One of the most useful things we can do early on is take some of that weight off, be honest about what we can offer, and make it possible for a relative to go back to being a daughter or a husband rather than a carer who never gets a night off. For the person moving in, the first weeks matter most. We want to know how they have always run their day, what they are proud of, who they want to hear from, what unsettles them, and what a good afternoon looks like. We write it down and we use it, and we keep learning as we go. Respite stays are available for short periods of care or to give a family carer a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Anyone considering Westbourne is welcome to visit, ask difficult questions and take their time.
