Drayton Court is a care home that provides long-term residential, and respite care for older people and people living with dementia. 

The home has three households and a larger lounge on the ground floor, which residents use for events such as parties and watching films on the big screen.

The households are designed in one of three lifestyles based on town, country and classical living. Hobbies, interests and local information are represented in the hallway decorations because we recognise that the space in-between places creates more opportunities for conversation and reminiscence.

Daily life centres around the living areas where residents get together with family and friends. Residents and family can use the kitchenettes on each household to make snacks and drinks, or ask staff to help. You'll often find regular activities happening in the living area or we might be outside in the garden. Residents are encouraged to spend time outside as often as possible using the paved courtyard, gardens and conservatory. There's also a beauty salon offering unisex hairdressing and manicures.

As part of our activity provision, WCS Care employs dedicated Community Musicians who deliver one-to-one or group music-based activities. And our Memory Maker minibus provides regular, local trips for residents, including those who need to use a wheelchair. We invite relatives to join our trips so families can make new memories together.

WCS Care offers the Relatives’ Gateway service for relatives with the necessary consent in place. This is an innovation that picks up most care and activities in real time, creating text from icons selected by staff. Loved ones and staff can also use the gateway to send pictures and messages, keeping everyone up-to-date anywhere in the world with an internet connection. You can sign into the gateway using the link at the top of the website.
