About Weatherstones House Nursing Home

Weatherstones House Nursing Home sits within the welcoming county of Cheshire West and Chester, offering families a reassuring place to turn when nursing care becomes a priority. The team here understands how much it means to find the right home for a loved one, and that commitment to getting things right is at the heart of everything they do. For families exploring their options in the area, Weatherstones House offers a dedicated nursing environment where residents are known as individuals, not just as patients.

Weatherstones House Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to older people aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 31 residents in one adapted building. At the time of inspection, 14 people were receiving care at the home.

Care staffing levels were sufficient to meet residents' needs. However, staff files required improvements to ensure all necessary information was in place before staff began work. Domestic staff vacancies affected the home's ability to undertake deep cleaning consistently, though the provider was actively recruiting and had reorganised cleaning tasks to increase work completed during night shifts.
