Westbourne Care Home

There's something about being in the garden that can make us slow down, notice the seasons and reconnect with familiar sights, scents and routines.

Our latest blog, Growing Wellbeing, looks at why gardens and access to nature remain such an important part of life in our care homes, including for residents who may not be able to get out and about as easily as they once did.

If you have a few minutes, have a read and let us know what you enjoy most about spending time outdoors.

Read Growing Wellbeing here.

Discover how Kew Care Group’s gardens support wellbeing in later life through nature, gentle activity, familiar interests and time spent outdoors.

We’re especially pleased to share this lovely 5-star review, written by one of the people who call Westbourne home.

“I am very happy here. I feel safe & secure.”

Hearing this directly from a resident means such a lot to the whole team. Feeling happy, comfortable and secure in your own home is exactly what we want for everyone who lives at Westbourne.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.🥰

Scrabble Club 🔤🧠

It was time to get those brains thinking at Westbourne Care Home! 🧠✨

Our Scrabble Club was full of fun, concentration and a little friendly competition — and no cheating allowed! 😉😂

There were some fantastic words played, with a few clever players hitting those Triple Word Scores! ⭐️👏

A brilliant activity for keeping minds active, encouraging conversation and, most importantly, having fun together. ❤️

Another lovely afternoon at Teapots group. Today we had a picture quiz of London monuments and black & white movies. We got some good scores, and won some great prizes on the raffle, including puzzles and bottles of w**e. Thank you St Barnabas, Gloucester for having us again. Until next week!

🕷️ A Wild Visit to Westbourne Care Home! 🐌🪲

What an exciting afternoon we had, with a special visit from Zoolab! 😀

Our residents had the fantastic opportunity to get up close and personal with some amazing creatures. They bravely held snakes 🐍, snails 🐌 and beetles 🪲, while also getting a fascinating close-up look at a tarantula 🕷️!

There were plenty of smiles, lots of curiosity and maybe the odd nervous giggle! 😄 It was wonderful to see our residents getting involved, asking questions and enjoying such a unique and meaningful experience.

A huge thank you to Zoolab for bringing the animal kingdom to us and making the afternoon so memorable. 👏🏻
