About Us

Wheaton Aston Care Home is a nursing home near Stafford in Staffordshire, providing nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs mean qualified nurses should be on hand at any hour. We also welcome people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays for families who need a break or a period of extra support after illness.

Moving into a nursing home is rarely a decision anyone takes lightly, and we try to make the practical side of it as calm as we can. Before somebody arrives we want to know about their health, of course, but we also want to know about the rest of them, the work they did, the people who matter, what they like on the radio and whether they would rather be up at six or left in peace until nine. That is the information that turns a room into somewhere a person can settle.

Our nursing team manages medication, wound care, continence needs and long term conditions, and we work closely with local GPs, community nurses and therapists. Where somebody is approaching the end of life we aim for comfort, dignity and a family who feel properly informed and properly supported.

The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Visitors are always welcome, and we would far rather you came and looked round than relied on any description we could write.
