About Howbury House Resource Centre
Here at Howbury House Resource Centre in Malvern, Worcestershire, we provide residential care for older people in a setting that feels genuinely homely rather than institutional. We support residents living with dementia, those with physical disabilities, and people who need short term respite care, so our team has built up real experience across a range of needs and circumstances. We know that choosing a care home, whether for yourself or someone you love, is one of the most significant decisions a family can make. We do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make sure every person who comes through our doors feels seen, heard, and respected as an individual, not simply as a resident on a rota. Our most recent CQC inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating, and we want to be straightforward about that rather than gloss over it. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through the areas identified, making practical changes to the way we operate. We believe in being honest with families, and we would rather have an open conversation about where we are and where we are heading than offer reassurances that mean little. Malvern is a wonderful place to be based, and we make the most of our surroundings where we can, whether that means time outdoors, visits from the local community, or simply taking in the view that this part of Worcestershire does so well. If you are considering Howbury House for yourself or a loved one, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us in person. There is only so much a webpage can tell you. Seeing the place, meeting the team, and asking whatever questions you have is always the best starting point, and we welcome those conversations.
