"Make our home your home."

​

Tucked gently away from the relentless hubbub of life you will find, at the end of a private country lane, Wensley House Residential Home. A family business since 1988, Wensley House is the best of both worlds; situated in an idyllic forest yet just a few minutes from the historic town of Epping with its local amenities and cafes or the 89 stall Epping Monday market, established in 1253! 

 

Wensley House is registered to care for all ages in the categories of Old Age, Dementia Care and Mental Disorder as well as those living with sensory impairment, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and a range of mental and physical disabilities.

 

As a family-run business the most common feedback we receive is that Wensley House feels homely and warm compared to other places and you will find the owners Patrick (who has a wealth of experience back to 1986 when he himself was a Care Home Manager) and Jonathan attending daily whilst working closely with the manager, Bianca, to support our team and deliver the best quality of care to all of our residents here.
