About Us

Wavelly House is a residential care home in Basingstoke, Hampshire, supporting adults living with a mental health condition. We also offer respite care for planned short stays.

This is somewhere people live rather than somewhere they are treated. Residents have their own room and their own belongings, decide how to spend their time, and are supported to take on more for themselves as and when they feel ready. Recovery does not run to a timetable, and we would far rather move at somebody's pace than push them along to suit ours.

In practice that means different things for different people. For one resident it is a settled routine, regular meals and a calm house. For another it is support with medication and appointments, help with money and shopping, and encouragement to get back into study, work or simply seeing people again. We agree the plan with the resident, write it in plain language and revisit it honestly rather than letting it run on unchanged.

The atmosphere here matters as much as the plan. Our team is consistent and unhurried, straightforward with people, and difficult days are met calmly rather than treated as an emergency.

We work closely with community mental health teams, GPs and social workers, and we keep families involved as far as the resident wants them to be. Where somebody would prefer their family kept at a distance, that is their decision and we respect it.

If you are looking into a placement or a short stay in the Basingstoke area, please contact us and we will talk it through with you.
