About The White House Care Home

The White House Care Home in Bodmin is a residential care home for older people who need help with daily living. We support people living with dementia, people with mental health needs and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays. Our aim is an ordinary life with the help that makes it possible. People keep their own hours and their own belongings, choose where and with whom to spend the day, and are helped with washing, dressing and moving about as privately and unhurriedly as we can arrange. Meals are cooked here with real choice at each one. Where somebody has a physical disability, independence often turns on practicalities: the right equipment, a room arranged so that things are within reach, and help given at the moment it is needed rather than instead of the person trying. With dementia and with mental health needs, consistency is what helps. Familiar faces, a steady rhythm to the day, and staff who know a person well enough to understand what lies behind a difficult afternoon. We write down what we learn with families so that it stays with the home. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall.
