Facilities & services
The flats are self-catered but if they like, residents are very welcome to have lunch with residents of Whitgift House nursing home. They enjoy taking part in the many events and activities at Whitgift House nursing home. Due to a dedicated mini-bus, they are also able to attend events across the wider Whitgift Care community and go on trips to places further afield.
Residents have a special connection with pupils and staff of Whitgift School – often being invited to enjoy performances, sports fixtures, or a friendly game of croquet. They may also take advantage of dedicated GP visits and access a hairdresser (fortnightly) and chiropodist (every 6-8 weeks).
“Mum loves the garden, her window where she can sit and watch the birds, and playing cards with her friends. It’s such a relief to know she’s happy here, that she doesn’t have to feel alone.”
