Wensley House came highly recommended by a friend whose mother was already staying there. From the director, manager, Senior care staff and carers, they were all very visible, approachable and understanding. They treated the residents with the upmost dignity and respect. The cleaners, house-keepers and chefs did a fantastic job too. All staff are attentive and caring and any issues were communicated well, especially regarding my relatives needs, which put my mind at rest. I would like to thank everyone personally for looking after my relative so well!

My family has been looking for a care home that suits all our requirements for our elderly mother who has severe dementia. As soon as we visited Wensley House Residential Home in Epping, Essex, we were immediately drawn to the close relationship between residents and staff. Our mother went into Wensley House on Tuesday 2nd June 2026, and we have never looked back, because she settled in straight away and felt the love and caring from staff, as we did on our various visits. As the family visits our mother 2-3 times per week, we have noticed the bonding between staff and residents due to the attention to detail and the excellent daily activities encouraging all residents to participate in. We have noticed a new confidence in our mother and how she enjoys the varied daily menu, which has enabled her to put on much-needed weight, which we struggled with before. And also her dementia has not declined and has stayed fairly steady. Finally, we would not hesitate in recommending this beautiful little gem, hidden away in idyllic surroundings, with first-class facilities.
Dear GC, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is great seeing you and your wife visit your mother on a regular basis and engage her in card games and also take out to lunch/tea which she enjoys very much. It is always lovely to see you both and have a chat with you. Needless to say your...

My husband and I have viewed and visited many care homes that vary quite considerably in both size, location and facilities offered. After comparing all the positives and negatives from these visits, there was only one real winner that stood out from the rest, Wensley House Residential Home, in Epping, Essex, far exceeded all our expectations from the warm receptive greeting, to the homely feel around the place with friendly interactive highly qualified staff. We would not hesitate to recommend this family run business, who actually care about all the daily formalities that makes this our number one choice every time.
