About Wrekin Villa

Wrekin Villa is a residential care home in Telford. We provide care for older people and for people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We are a residential home rather than a large institution, and the day here belongs to the people living in it. Some like an early start and a bit of company; others prefer a slow morning and a quiet afternoon. Our part is to make either possible, and to help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting about in a way that supports independence rather than quietly replacing it. Where somebody has a physical disability, we take trouble to get the detail right: the equipment properly set up, staff who are confident using it, and moving and handling done the way the person prefers rather than the way that happens to be quickest. Being helped to move is a very personal business and it is worth doing well. Respite stays are properly planned and given the same attention as any other admission, whether they are giving a family carer a genuine break or supporting someone recovering after a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take that as a sound foundation rather than a finishing line, and we keep looking at where things could be better. You are welcome to visit Wrekin Villa and see the home as it ordinarily is.
