Residential and dementia care · Cotswolds edge
A house with a garden, a good kitchen and people who know your name.
Wrenfield is a small care home for older people who need support with daily life, including people living with dementia. Long stays, short respite stays and trial stays are all welcome.
Come and look around“Home first, care second.” The Wrenfield approach
01 · Daily life
The day bends around the person.
There is no wake-up bell and no fixed bedtime. Breakfast runs late into the morning, and the kitchen will make an omelette at three in the afternoon if that is what someone fancies.
Breakfast in the dining room or in bed, newspapers delivered, help with washing and dressing at each person's pace.
A two-course lunch cooked on site, with menus planned with residents and adjusted for swallowing and dietary needs.
Gardening, music, quiz sheets, visits from the local school and the hairdresser on Thursdays. Joining in is always optional.
A lighter supper, a film or quiet time, and night staff awake throughout who know each resident's routines.
02 · Rooms and grounds
Bring the armchair, the pictures and the cat-shaped doorstop.
Your own room
Every bedroom is single occupancy with an en suite, a call system and space for personal furniture and photographs.
The walled garden
Level paths, raised beds and a covered seating area, designed so people living with dementia can walk safely and freely.
Shared spaces
A sitting room with a fire, a quiet library, a dining room that opens to the terrace and a small kitchen for families.
We would rather know that someone takes two sugars and hates the radio before ten than fill in another form about it.From our staff induction, not a customer review
03 · Quality
Regulated, inspected and easy to question.
Care homes in England are registered with the Care Quality Commission, which inspects against five key questions: are services safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
Our registered manager runs a monthly open session for families, and every resident has a named key worker who reviews their care plan with them and the people they choose.
On a live site, the box opposite is replaced with the official CQC widget, which shows the current rating and links to the full report.
