At Wisteria Dementia Care Homes in Plymouth, we specialise in providing quality of life, care and support for people living with dementia. Each person is treated as an individual who can make their own choices, for example what food they would like to eat or which activities they want to take part in. We believe in encouraging our residents to make decisions and we are here to provide them with support and comfort. We have no set visiting times, so family members and friends can come and go as much as they like. You can even join us for meals!
"My aim for the people living at Wisteria House is to firstly reduce stress and anxiety, by creating a world that is calming, friendly, affectionate and familiar. Promoting choice and control over one's life that adds meaning and purpose. Introducing activities, stimulation and independence to a level where individuals can experience living positively with dementia."
Louise Collins, Owner.

WoolwellAt Wisteria House Dementia Care Homes, we pride ourselves on being different from your average Residential Care Home. We don't wear uniforms, we don't have structured routines, we don't have strict visiting times. At Wisteria, we encourage our residents to make their own decisions, to be their own person, we are simply here to support them and their families through living with dementia.
We are a small group of three independent Residential Dementia Care Homes with a local owner. We are not governed by large corporations policies and procedures. The staff team can be incredibly flexible in the choices that we offer, from how you would like your bedroom furnished to keeping the food pantry open 24 hours a day for drinks and snacks. These are just a few reasons why we are considered one of the best care homes in Plymouth.
We like to be flexible when it comes to visiting times and have an ‘Open House’ policy. We like to encourage visitors to be involved in supporting their loved ones. We also like to actively encourage people to experience the home before choosing to live here, you would be welcome to come for dinner just to see how you feel.
At Wisteria House Dementia Care, we like to have lots of different activities to choose from, we have entertainers coming to the homes, we hire mini buses and go on day trips, we have a hairdresser who comes in each week, we like to provide lots of group activities, however we understand that not everyone enjoys group activities so we cater to every need.
Although the staff team feel that these add variety and have some value in relation to quality of life, we particularly value relationship care in our Plymouth care homes. This is ever present, from the time each person gets up in the morning, throughout the day and just before going to sleep.
