The Wedge is a family run residential care home, originally purchased by a married couple in 1984. At the time of purchase, the property was registered for 5 residents. Over the years the home has been extensively extended and is now registered for 21 residents with 18 of the bedrooms having en-suite facilities.
The home is managed by the couple's daughter, a qualified nurse, who took over the running over 13 years ago.
They have an excellent team of staff and are delighted that they have a low turnover of their team, which of course provides continuity of care for their residents.
At the Wedge, they do not employ agency staff.
They are conscious that this their resident's home and visitors are always welcome as they bring such pleasure to residents. They are a pet-friendly home with the deputy manager's dog Buddy given a relatively free roam of the house and has become a friend and comfort to many residents.
They do not run a regimented regime as each day will be different depending on the needs of the residents. However, whatever is going on they always make sure there is time for a chat and a drink. Their aim is for residents to feel well-loved and cared for in a home from home environment.
They have an activity co-ordinator in the home four afternoons a week to help residents with a complete range of entertainment and activities which can be as a group or on a one-to-one basis.

My mother was lucky enough to secure a place at The Wedge at the end of February. The care and support she has been given has been first class as she has dementia and osteoarthritis. We have been able to visit whenever we wish and have had no concerns at all regarding her safety and well-being. The manager and her staff are the most caring people and their communication with us has been excellent.
Many thanks for your kind words. It means so much to us.

I cannot express my gratitude and thanks for all the carers at this home. Not only did they care for my mum but also all her family, we felt it was like caring at home. The home was very relaxed and couldn't do enough for my mum or her family. Her room was familiar to her as her pictures and personal belonging were allowed. I cannot express my thanks. 10/10.
Thank you so much for your lovely Review. It means so much to myself and the staff.

My mum was a resident at The Wedge following recommendations from several friends who had family members there. The day we took my mum in we were welcomed with open arms' and smiles. Every single member of staff were friendly and kind. As soon as I walked into the home I knew it was the right place for my mum. The manager welcomed not only ,my mum but every single one of my family' ,children, grandchildren, great grandchildren all visited . The food was excellent, the room my mum had was lovely. It looked out onto a garden which gave my mum great comfort. Sadly my mum passed away after a short stay but I couldn't thank the staff enough for their care and support during this time. Excellent , caring, empathetic, professional and fun are the words I would use to describe The Wedge..10/10
Excellent, family-owned and managed care home. Giving a score of 10/10 doesn't rate them highly enough. At every step of the way, the staff went the extra mile to help and provide care and comfort.

Excellent, family-owned and managed care home. Giving a score of 10/10 doesn't rate them highly enough. At every step of the way, the staff went the extra mile to help and provide care and comfort. Day and night they were on hand to look after my aunt. Thanks to their support we were able to get my aunt out of hospital and back into the care home where she felt safe and looked after. If you are looking for a small, intimate care home, you'll not find better than The Wedge.
Mum is receiving exemplary care, not just on a practical level but also on an emotional level. There are always cuddles and kind words of reassurance when needed, that has also been extended to me when I have needed it. Mum is so happy, I couldn't ask for more.

An extremely well-run and organised home with a homely atmosphere and an amazing team of devoted, dedicated and happy carers. You could not wish for more.

The Wedge was chosen for my father on the strength of its reputation as a small, family-run establishment with a personal feel to it. I can say that it more than lived up to the reputation with, most notably, staff who were all very caring, always were cheerful and treated my father with the utmost dignity. I always felt he was in safe hands. A fantastic care home.

My godmother had a psychotic episode, which is really out of character; the manager and all the staff were excellent, caring and kind and kept me fully informed at every stage. It was really hard for all staff concerned, but they have also been so lovely and caring about the whole episode.

I am very pleased at the consistent, excellent service the management and carers provide for my mum. It is like family rather than being just a resident.

The Wedge is an exceptional care home: exceptional in the standard of care provided by the staff and in the loving attitude of all the staff. They genuinely loved my mother, were interested in her as a person, sought to understand her, build a real relationship with her and have fun with her. Consequently, she felt valued and worthwhile - very important at this stage of her life. She died in the home in a beautiful atmosphere of love and peace.
