Watford House

Watford House was constructed around the turn of the 18th century, from local stone and is situated in 2 acres of landscaped gardens. The house is situated on the edge of the Peak District, on the outskirts of New Mills, Marple Bridge and Mellor, in a quiet residential area within easy reach of the centres.

The management of Watford House prides themselves on offering a highly professional Residential Care Service for people living with Dementia with a personal touch. We provide personal care to all who require such support to remain independent. This service is centred on maintaining a warm and homely atmosphere to uphold our ethos.

This Home aims to sustain the quality of the services provided to the residents while meeting the challenge of the new regulatory requirements on the services provided. We place the rights of residents at the forefront of our philosophy of care. We seek to advance these rights in all aspects of the environment and the services we provide and to encourage our residents to exercise their rights to the full.

Carers strive to preserve and maintain the respect, dignity, individuality and privacy of all residents and in so doing will be sensitive to the resident's ever-changing needs. Such needs may be medical/therapeutic (for physical and mental welfare), cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social, and residents are encouraged to participate in the development of their individualised Care Plans in which the involvement of family and friends may be appropriate and greatly valued.

It must always be understood that “A resident is never an interruption to our work. A resident is a reason for our work.”

Watford House is registered with the Care Quality Commission for dementia and residential care.
