Ventress Hall is all about enjoying quality care and fulfilling days in a lovely setting.

While we provide permanent care to many residents, we also have the flexibility to care for your loved one on a short term (respite) basis if they need to convalesce after a hospital stay, or if you need some time off from caring for them. We also provide day care for older people who live locally and value some extra support or social interaction during the day.

Every bedroom at Ventress Hall care home is different - some feature high ceilings, while others open directly onto our courtyards. Each room has a 24-hour nurse call system as well as phone and television connections. Most rooms have en-suite facilities and we also have a few shared or double rooms that are ideal for couples.

Throughout the care home there are ample spaces to relax, socialise or to do activities. There are several lounges and dining rooms, a library, hair salon and a warm and sunny conservatory. Outside, our two courtyard gardens are a lovely spot for enjoying a cup of tea in the sun. The home and gardens are fully wheelchair accessible.

From the manager

“I joined Ventress Hall back in the 1990s, progressing from a carer to a senior and then to become the deputy manager. I became Home Manager in November 2019.  All of my experience enables me to challenge our practices, improve what we do and strengthen our relationships with the local CCG and healthcare team – all for the benefit of our residents. I love seeing the residents happy, and I enjoy seeing the positive impact of the work we do. We often have residents join us for short term respite care as they convalesce after an illness or operation. It’s wonderful to see them recover and return home.  I’ve worked with many of the team here for many years. I have a profound respect for them and recognise each of their contributions. It’s safe to say that this home has a special place in my heart and I’m looking forward to developing Ventress Hall even further so we can deliver even greater outcomes for residents and their families.”
