Daily Life at Whittington House Care Home
Keeping Things Personal
The wonderful surroundings at Whittington House Care Home are matched by the standard of care we provide. We love to learn about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time here is tailored to their individual needs, interests, and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.
We give as much independence as possible as residents choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.
We consistently apply infection control procedures and services that meet or exceed the requirements and expectations of our customers.
