About Woofferton Residential Care Home

Woofferton Residential Care Home is near Ludlow in Shropshire. We provide a home for older people who need support with daily living, and we offer respite stays for people needing care for a short period or whose usual carer needs a break. We would rather tell you this ourselves. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us as requires improvement. We are not going to write around it. The findings were taken seriously, there is an improvement plan we are working through, and if you visit you should ask us plainly what has changed and what is still outstanding. You will get a plain answer. What has not changed is how we think people should be treated. This is their home. Residents choose how their rooms look, when they get up, what they do with the day and who comes to see them. We spend the early weeks learning about a person rather than fitting them into our routine: what they did for a living, what they will not be persuaded to eat, what time breakfast has always been, whether they would rather have company or be left in peace with the radio. Real improvement comes from listening to residents and relatives and then acting rather than recording. That is where our attention sits, and we welcome anybody who wants to hold us to it.
