About Whitchurch House

Whitchurch House is a 29-bed residential care home located in Whitchurch, near Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire. The home is operated by Whitchurch Care Limited and provides care for older people, those with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments. Its most recent CQC inspection in January 2019 rated the service as Good across all key lines of enquiry.

The home's smaller size relative to many care facilities means residents may benefit from a more intimate setting within the Herefordshire community. As a residential care home, it offers personal care and support rather than nursing-level medical care. The home's mixed specialism approach suggests it can accommodate people with varying care needs, though individual suitability should be assessed during the enquiry process.
