Winchcombe Place in Newbury is a modern, purpose-built care home offering high-quality residential care and respite care for older people, including those who are living with dementia.
Each en-suite bedroom has its own flatscreen TV, phone and internet connections, and ground floor rooms even open directly onto the lovely, secure gardens. Residents love the hair and beauty salon, café, cinema room and library. There are also regular activities in the vintage-themed lounge and activity room.
At Winchcombe Place, the team believes that living in a care home should be just as good as living in your own home – or better. The devoted lifestyle team pride themselves on organising fun activities, entertainment and outings for residents.
From the manager
“I have 30 years of experience working in care homes, and I was keen to join Care UK because of Winchcombe Place’s great reputation within the local community. Before this, I was working as Home Manager of a nursing home for residents living with dementia who required nursing care. As Home Manager of Winchcombe Place, it’s important that I’m empathetic, a good listener and have good leadership skills. I ensure I’m always open and transparent and show my own learning when needed. My favourite part of the day is walking around the home and talking to residents, relatives and colleagues. By spending time with residents, I find out what else we can be doing to enhance their lives. I’m proud of my achievements, including a career highlight of turning a home from ‘Requires Improvement’ to ‘Good’ within six months. But I also feel fulfilled when I see my team enhancing the lives of residents or progressing in their careers. Seeing the residents smile and having a great quality of life also makes everything we do worth it. The most important part of my role is ensuring the safety of the residents and all those who visit Winchcombe Place. As both a manager and someone who has had a loved one live in a care home, I have valuable experience seeing care homes from both sides. When I’m not at work, I enjoy family walks with my beautiful cockapoo Lottie, cooking and travelling.”
