About Us

Westport Care Home in Tower Hamlets provides residential care for older people, including many residents living with dementia. We are a home in the middle of a busy part of London, and we try to make sure that inside it the pace is entirely our residents' own.

The day is not run to a rigid timetable. People get up when they are ready, eat food cooked here that is worth looking forward to, and spend their time in company or quietly as they prefer. Support with washing and dressing is given unhurriedly, because dignity is mostly a matter of pace and manner.

Dementia care asks for patience rather than correction. When a resident is anxious, or looking for a person or place from an earlier part of life, we respond to the feeling rather than arguing with the facts, and we work out what will genuinely settle them. Life history matters enormously here, and we gather it early from the people who know someone best.

Being centrally located means families can visit easily, and we encourage them to come often and stay involved in decisions.

We also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
