Rooms & Facilities

Some of the rooms have more activities going on, whilst other rooms are quieter and offer more one to one care. We also have a Bungalow which is often used for staff training, however sometimes we turn it into pop-up cafés!

  5 Stars!

The whole building is used by the residents as their own home. There is nothing regimental, they can do anything they wish to do - watch TV, cups of tea in their room, and activities are plentiful, entertainment. The staff are all well-organised and nothing is too much trouble - all in all 5 stars!

  Ten out of ten!

I have been visiting a long-term friend who has been here for a couple of months and can't help but admire the care and attention given to the residents, nothing seems too much trouble. I have never visited a residential home with the cleanliness of Wisteria House. The nice thing that struck me on my 
first visit is the fresh homely smell. The residents all seem very happy here. Ten out of ten to everyone!

  I can't thank all the staff at Wisteria House Woolwell enough

I can't thank all the staff at Wisteria House Woolwell enough for the beyond excellent care they continue to give to my darling Mum and to our family. Mum went into Wisteria after a few stressful hospital stays and it was a difficult time for us all. Since being at Wisteria, Mum has thrived. She is 
so well cared for by everyone. She has the most wonderful friends, the food is amazing (very fresh and wholesome and always available), the gardens are so beautiful and so peaceful and Mum has her sparkle back again. When we visit and take Mum out, the staff are all warm and helpful and professional and we are always welcome. Mum says she is happy and never wants to live anywhere else now. That is testament to the wonderful staff, the ethos and environment. Thank you for supporting us, and especially Mum, and enabling us to make more happy, quality memories with Mum.

I love Wisteria House. The facilities are incredible. The grounds are beautiful. Her room is bright and clean. The best thing, far and above all others, is the staff. I couldn't do what they do. Just amazing.
