Latest guidance reviews the need for isolation for non-Hospital admissions

The Government has announced that admissions are of less risk if a person has been appropriately vaccinated and the person is being admitted from their own Home and not from another Care Home or Hospital setting.

Residents may be admitted to a care home from the community without needing to complete a 14-day self-isolation period, if they satisfy the requirements. Ask for details.

Hear what one of our residents has to say

Beryl Tells Her Story

Making the decision about moving into a care home or moving a loved one into a care home can be emotional and finding the right one for you or your family member can be difficult. Our teams are here to guide and help you every step of the way.

Beryl moved into Whittington House Nursing Home in Cheltenham ten months ago and found her slice of heaven! Although Beryl had a full life meeting up with friends and family, a fall alone in her flat caused her and her family concern. They decided to look for a home where Beryl could retain her freedom, but have a sense of security and Whittington was the place!

It’s fun to reminisce the past and the residents and team at Whittington House got the local community and a local Councillor involved in the Caring Homes Treasured Memories project. It was a chance to preserve their words of wisdom and memories for future generations to find, by putting together a time capsule and placing it in the grounds at the home.

Keeping things personal

At Whittington House Nursing Home

The wonderful surroundings at Whittington House Nursing Home are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time 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, letting individuals 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.

Every need catered for

Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Whittington House Nursing Home. We know eating well and the social experience of dining are key to health and wellbeing.

Using their in-depth knowledge of nutrition, they cater for any special diets and needs.

A real occasion

The dining rooms at Whittington House Nursing Home are laid out in a restaurant style, with tablecloths, folded napkins, crockery and glassware. If preferred, meals can also be served in an individual’s room.

Keep doing what you love

At Whittington House Nursing Home, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy – from the activities room to the hair salon, our packed schedule of events and activities, to picnics in the courtyard. And if residents prefer to spend one-on-one time with a member of the team, they can read the paper, pop to the shops or have a catch up in the bistro. We have strong connections with the Cheltenham community, many of our residents invite them to join in our activities or even run their own here.

Keeping busy

There are group activities to enjoy seven days a week, including crafts, quizzes, films and live entertainment. We also love one-to-one time, with time in the courtyard or a pamper session.

Out and about

Friends and family are welcome to visit whenever they like, and where better for a catch up than the bistro? If residents fancy a day trip, we’ll often pop out for tea and cake too.

House proud

We encourage residents to get involved with activities around the house. Simple things like gardening, hosting afternoon tea or laying the table for dinner can spark up friendships and help residents settle in.
