About OSJCT Watersmead
Watersmead is a care home in Westbury, Wiltshire. We provide residential care for older people, and we support people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. We are able to support younger adults as well, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. A care home only works if it belongs to the people living in it. Residents here decide how their rooms look, when they get up, whether they eat in the dining room or in their own space, and how much of the day they want to spend in company. Our staff are there to make those choices possible, not to move people through a timetable. Dementia support is a large part of what we do. We look for the reason behind distress rather than treating it as behaviour to be contained, and we keep surroundings, routines and faces as familiar as we can. Families tell us what mattered to the person before we ever met them, and that history shapes how we care for them now. Respite matters just as much. A carer who is worn out needs a genuine break, and the person staying with us needs a welcome rather than a waiting room. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are glad of it, and we keep working at the things the report and our own residents tell us could be better. Anyone thinking about care in this part of Wiltshire is welcome to visit and see the home for themselves.
