Willow Bank

Residential Home

Willow Bank House is set in a stunning, rural location, near the market town of Pershore, surrounded by landscaped gardens and bordered by a picturesque brook. Originally a Roman site, opposite an RAF training ground, the home has an abundance of history to its name.

Willow Bank is a home for people living with dementia. It prides itself on focussing on giving residents freedom to maintain a good quality of life under watchful care, for those who otherwise would be forced to live within lifestyle constraints. To give the responsibility of caring for a loved one to someone else is never an easy step to take and so we make sure the transition is as smooth as possible for families.

Willow Bank is proud to have been awarded Two Star Gold Accreditation by the National Dementia Care Accreditation Scheme, recognising the exceptional care and understanding our team brings to supporting people living with dementia.

For us, dementia care goes beyond meeting standards. It’s about truly knowing each resident — their routines, stories and the little things that bring comfort and familiarity. Because every person’s experience of dementia is different, we tailor our support to the individual, helping each resident continue to live a life that feels meaningful and reassuring.

This accreditation reflects the dedication of our team in creating a safe, supportive environment where residents feel understood, valued and at home.

About the Home

Accommodation

At Willow Bank, we want those under our care to feel like they are at home and so we are dedicated to providing the very best environment for them. Our home is a large and friendly 63 bed purpose-built home, presenting a clean and secure environment to accommodate the needs of all individuals. There are several communal areas for the residents to choose from, dependent on their mood. There are two additional wings to our home which are suitable for high dependent clients who are more comfortable in smaller groups.

Activities

Residents are actively encouraged to engage in social activities or hobbies of their own choosing. Additionally, we create daily programmes to stimulate the residents in both body and mind.

Community involvement is also encouraged, with regular visits from a variety of organisations in the area.

Cuisine

Our experienced kitchen team at Willow Bank are dedicated to providing nutritious and enjoyable meals for all the residents, adapting to each individual’s preferences and requirements. The ingredients are locally sourced allowing meals to be produced each day using fresh ingredients.

Types of Care

Residential Care

Residential care is for older people who are finding it increasingly difficult to manage at home without additional help and support.

Residents will not only be supported with personal care but our devoted staff will take over all the everyday tasks of laundry, cooking, gardening and housekeeping, allowing the residents more time to relax and enjoy themselves in a comfortable and safe environment.

It is our priority to make everything as seamless as possible in the moving process so that your loved one maintains their independence, dignity and identity at all times. Choosing the right care home for a loved one can be an overwhelming task and we will be there to support you throughout the whole process. We encourage friends and family to visit as often as they can and everyone is of course invited to come along to the parties and events we regularly hold for the residents.

At Buckland Care we take time to get to know each resident, tailoring the care we provide to suit each individual person. Our dedicated team is proud of the facilities available to residents, and work hard to ensure they retain as much independence as possible but rest assured, we will be there 24 hours a day should they need us.

Dementia Care

Choosing a care home for someone living with dementia is a major decision. You need to be sure that your loved one will be in an understanding, nurturing environment with professionals who have the experience and knowledge to safely care for them.

At all Buckland Care homes that is exactly what we offer. We do everything we can to make our residents feel at ease, with tailored features for those living with dementia. Every carer is trained to care for dementia patients and our homes have been adapted to aid those living with a dementia-related illness.

Respite Care

Buckland Care homes provide respite care for people who may only require a short stay in a care home. Respite care is an invaluable service for those who care full-time for their loved ones, providing them with a chance to take a break from daily responsibilities.

Some residents use it as a way to trial the home before moving in full term, to see if they will feel settled and at home. The length of time residents stay is flexible and can be anything from a week to a few months. We will work with you and deliver a high level of professional care to all residents no matter how long they are staying with us.

Day Care

In all of our homes at Buckland Care, we offer day care for those who wish to socialise with their peers and be looked after during the day but return to their own home in the evening.

The benefits of this are plentiful: allowing full time carers to rest; socialising with like-minded people and keeping the body and mind active; relieving oneself of the hassle of personal care and home-cooked meal preparation; a simple change of scene. With our welcoming staff on hand all day, individuals can feel safe and secure within our friendly care homes and enjoy a different environment to their own home.

Staff

Willow Bank is full of exceptional and caring staff, who take the time to develop plans for each resident. Weekly clinics are held at the home and regular home visits are made by District Nurses and psychiatric professionals as well as chiropodist, physiotherapists and opticians when required.

I would like to thank you and all the staff at Willow Bank for looking after my father Albert Lambert.
