Juniper House, Worcester

Our spacious care home bedrooms are extremely welcoming, with a light and airy feel. All our bedrooms include en-suite facilities, including a walk-in wet room shower which is fully accessible for all needs.

Beautifully decorated and furnished, we encourage residents to personalise their bedroom, like they would their own home. Small pieces of furniture, photos and pictures can really make our bedrooms feel more like home. We also have our very own maintenance operative to support you when you move in, so we can take care of any heavy lifting and building.  

Many of the bedrooms overlook the beautiful gardens, which have wheelchair-friendly pathways, gorgeous seating areas and beautiful seasonal planting. They are pleasant grounds to look onto when enjoying an afternoon read in your bedroom.

We are also proud to offer care home options for couples. We have both adjoining bedrooms and extra-large bedrooms available for couples. Why not enquire with our Enquiry Support Team to find out more. 

We truly believe that delivering care is just the start in our care home. Something that we feel makes our residential and dementia care home in Worcester so special is how we enrich lives. And it all starts with our person-centred activities.

Our care home activities programme is shaped by the residents we have in our home. We have a member of staff dedicated to providing activities and they meet with new residents right away to understand their interests, passions, likes and dislikes. From this information, which they review regularly, along with our residents' life histories, an activity programme is formed.  

Our activities programme includes group activities and one-to-one sessions. We encourage residents to be as involved as they are comfortable with being. If there is an activity they wish to take part in but are feeling overwhelmed, our dedicated activities coordinator will adapt to their needs.

Every month a new programme is pulled together, with seasonal and national celebrations being included too. For example we have once hosted a summer cruise during the school summer holidays and a winter 'snowball fight' during Christmas time.  

Regular activities include:

• knitting clubs
• gardening clubs
• live music entertainment
• visiting nursery children  
• community coffee mornings
• animal visits 
• tai chi and armchair exercises  
• arts and crafts

and so much more.  

We also have a minibus, where we enjoy activities, trips and events outside of St John's, Worcester. We often organise trips to places like Webbs, Wychbold and the Malvern Theatre. 

As well as residential and dementia care, we also offer respite care breaks in Worcester. Respite care is short-term care, where residents move in for a minimum of one week.

Our devoted team offers round-the-clock care, comfort and reassurance to residents living with dementia. Our Worcester dementia home is focused on the individual needs of our residents.  

We provide person-centred care for our residents and create bespoke care plans on our electronic care planning app kradle. We encourage family involvement in our residents' dementia care plans and keep loved ones informed at every step and care plan review.  

Along with our devoted dementia care service in Worcester, we also pride ourselves on our dementia friendly care home activities we have available. A regular highlight are our reminiscence and namaste sessions. They are wonderful, especially for our residents living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Reminiscence sessions form a sense of competence and confidence with residents, while namaste activities are relaxing and calming, reducing overstimulation.  

Unlike other dementia care homes in Worcester, Juniper House offers bariatric care. Bariatric care delivers person-centred care to those living with obesity, where our dedicated team supports our residents to lead an overall improved lifestyle.  

We have two specialist bariatric bedrooms. Both rooms have supportive beds and furniture, with special ceiling hoists and walk-in wet room showers. 

It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.

Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment. This is required to understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2024 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1269 but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.

*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.
