About Wellfield & Henley House
Discover the story, the people, and the principles that define our commitment to providing a new standard in compassionate care.
Our Story: A Foundation of Family Values
Our journey began with a simple, heartfelt mission: to create a place where care is delivered with the same warmth, respect, and dedication we would want for our own family. We envisioned homes that were more than just facilities; they were to be true communities, places where residents could feel secure, cherished, and empowered to live their best lives.
This vision led to the establishment of Wellfield and Henley House. While each home has its own unique character, both are built upon this shared foundation of family values, ensuring that every resident is treated with kindness and their individual needs are always our first priority.
Our Philosophy in Action
These three pillars are not just words; they are the actions we take every day to ensure a consistent standard of excellence across our homes.
Dignity
Dignity is woven into every interaction. It means addressing residents by their preferred name, taking time to listen to their stories, and ensuring personal care is provided discreetly and respectfully. We create a culture where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued for who they are.
Choice
Choice is about empowering residents to shape their own day. It's the freedom to decide when to wake up, what to eat from our varied menu, and which activities to join. We actively involve residents and their families in creating personalised care plans, ensuring their preferences are central to the care they receive.
Independence
Independence is nurtured by encouraging residents to continue with their hobbies, manage their personal space, and maintain community connections. Our role is to provide a supportive framework—offering a helping hand only when needed—to build confidence and enable each person to live as fully as possible.
Two Homes, One Heart
While our core philosophy is shared, each home expresses it with its own unique character and charm.
