About Woodthorne Care Home
Woodthorne Care Home in Willenhall provides residential care to older people and younger adults, including many residents living with dementia. We want people who move in to find that it becomes home before long, and that families can stop worrying about the decision they have made. Much of that comes down to ordinary things done consistently. Getting up when you want to. Meals cooked here that people look forward to. Help with washing and dressing given calmly and with dignity. Enough support to move about safely without feeling hemmed in. Dementia care forms a large part of our work. We keep the rhythm of the day predictable, give people time to respond, and spend real effort learning who a person has been. That history is usually what allows us to reach someone who is distressed, and it makes everyday conversation better too. Visitors are welcome here and we do not treat visiting as an interruption. Come and share a meal, join an activity, or take your relative out for the afternoon. We also provide respite care for shorter stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we would be pleased to show you round.
