Wychwood Residents

Wychwood House caters for residents on either a permananent or temporary basis, with respite care offered where required. The home also accomodates resident's changing needs as time goes by.

As a small friendly retirement home, residents are looked after by a team of carers who get to know them really well. All staff will know each resident's individual requirements and care plan and so are able to offer a high level of care and support. Wychwood House also has an ongoing programme of staff training to ensure that each is kept up to date.

Small, friendly retirement home

Residents have their own rooms, some with en-suite facilities. There are two residential areas, the main house offering eighteen beds and also a stand alone bungalow with a further six beds. Each caters for different physical abilities, the bungalow being more appropriate for those residents who wish to retain a higher level of independence. For example, there is a kitchen in the bungalow for residents use.

Depending on individual requirements, residents are offered help with dressing and personal care in the mornings and once again at night. Residents can sleep in for as long as they wish, although residents are encouraged to enjoy the stimulation of other members of the Wychwood House community.

Freshly cooked meals are available which are designed to be both tasty and palatable to the elderly palate. Residents are consulted regularly on the menu and where possible, individual preferences are taken account of. A cooked breakfast or cereal is available in the morning, follwed by cooked meals and snacks throughout the day. At Wychwood, we are particularly concerned to ensure that residents are properly hydrated and residents are encouraged to drink regularly.
