Care shaped around you
When considering care for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to find a place that values you for the unique person that you are. At Barchester, our dedicated teams seek to understand more than care needs. We get to know each person’s life story, passions and preferences to shape their care, support and experiences.
Meaningful moments
We believe it’s important to find joy, purpose and fulfilment in each day, whatever that looks like for you. Whether it’s enjoying your favourite hobby, joining a group activity or being supported to try something new, we’re always finding ways to nourish the mind, body and soul. With close connections with our local communities we’re able to bring the outside in, as well as planning regular trips to places of local interest.

Edingley Lodge Care Home
I run monthly session with my play group, bits and bobs play group at Edingley lodge and I can honestly say it's the highlight of my month. The staff are always so professional and helpful but always happy to have fun and get involved, encouraging residents to come and join is as well. They have a beautiful take on life here! The residents are always so happy and easy to get along with! They will get involved no matter what we do! They will happily play games with the children, cuddle them, sing, dance, get mucky with messy play and generally just let go and enjoy themselves! This is a reflection of how amazing the relationships are between staff and residents! The home is always so clean and welcoming, it really has an amazing feel to it. There is always something for the residents to do weather that's inside or day trips! It really is an incredible place to visit. I wouldn't hesitate to make this home for myself when the time comes, until then I'll keep waiting to save space for my own parents!! I hope to keep visiting Edingley for a long time to come. Thank you for welcoming and having me.

Weystone Manor Care Home
I recently visited Weystone Manor to deliver some art equipment for their open day, and I came away genuinely impressed.
From the moment I arrived, I was given such a warm welcome and a lovely tour of the home by Ginny Thomas. Everything has been thoughtfully and professionally designed to create a beautiful, luxurious and functional environment, but what stood out most was that it never felt like luxury for luxury's sake. There is a real sense that everything revolves around the residents and helping them live as independently, comfortably and joyfully as possible.
As an artist, I particularly appreciated the stylish interiors and the artwork displayed throughout the home. As a Woking resident, I also loved the thoughtful touches that connect the home to the local community, including lovely photographs of Woking from the past and spaces named after prominent local figures. There are so many lovely spaces, from cosy lounges and elegant dining areas to a hair and nail salon, spa bath and even a private dining room for family celebrations, complete with a mini cinema! I was also impressed by the dedicated dementia-friendly areas, with subtle design cues and prompts that support independence in such a thoughtful way.
The personalised activity programmes, beautiful sensory garden and obvious attention to every detail all reflect a genuinely caring philosophy. It's clear that a huge amount of thought, care and creativity has gone into making Waystone Manor a true home, not a care facility.
It was a pleasure to visit, and I wish everyone involved every success with the opening day and beyond.

Mount Tryon Care Home
As a visiting health professional, I am always impressed by this very clean and well managed home. All the staff I've met have a strong work ethic and good humour.
They run many interesting and unusual activities to keep the residents entertained.
Also, I am always hearing positive feedback about the food; which can be quite rare to hear in other homes!
