Westmead is an attractive care home surrounded by pleasant and secluded gardens.
Situated in a quiet residential area of the spa town of Droitwich in Worcestershire, our home is located less than a mile from the town centre with all the shops, restaurants, lido, a stunning park and all the other attractions this has to offer.
Our dedicated team provides a range of care and support for our residents, including residential care, dementia care, respite care and day care.
Our care home has been designed with the usual comforts you’d expect such as welcoming lounges with fireplaces, light and airy dining rooms, landscaped gardens and cosy bedrooms, which provide a warm place for our residents to rest and relax.
However it’s the small personal touches and our friendly team, who care for our residents as if they were members of their own family, which make Westmead a true home from home.
We welcome visits from family and friends and have an open door policy, so whether loved ones like to pop in for a coffee or take part in an activity, we encourage them to become part of the community within our home.
We also have our own residents’ committee, where our residents are directly involved in everyday life at Westmead.
Pre-bookable respite care
Our short-term respite breaks are an opportunity for loved ones to meet new people, enjoy delicious home-cooked meals and enjoy all the comforts of home whilst receiving high-quality care and support. Westmead now provides pre-bookable residential respite care, giving carers the opportunity to take a break of their own.
