About The Willow Care Home
The Willow Care Home is a residential home in Redditch. We support older people who need help with daily living, people living with mental health conditions and some younger adults whose needs are better met in a residential setting than at home. Our care is the everyday practical kind: help to wash and dress, medication managed properly, meals cooked on the premises and staff available at any hour. We try to keep the house feeling domestic. People get up when they are ready, spend the day as they choose and have visitors when they want them. Supporting people with mental health needs comes down to consistency and knowing people well. We work with the same residents over long periods, we learn what a difficult stretch looks like for each person and what tends to help, and we keep close working relationships with GPs and community mental health teams so that support does not fall apart between one part of the system and another. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether to give a family carer a planned break or to provide extra support during a difficult period. Families across Worcestershire are welcome to visit and see the home. Please ring and we will arrange a time that suits you.
