About Weir End House

Weir End House brings a genuine sense of warmth and community to residential care in the beautiful county of Herefordshire. Families seeking support for their loved ones will find a place where the focus is firmly on wellbeing and feeling truly at home. With its roots in a welcoming part of England, this is a care home where people matter and that commitment shows.

Weir End House is a residential care home providing personal care and accommodation for younger and older people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs. The service is registered for up to 13 people, with ten people using the service at the time of inspection. Although larger than typical domestic properties, the building design blends into the residential area with other similarly sized homes, and there are no identifying signs, intercoms, cameras or industrial bins outside to indicate it is a care home.

People receive planned and person-centred support designed to promote meaningful lives with control, choice and independence.
