Acton Care Centre in West London is a purpose-built care home that offers first-class, sensitive general and dementia care for residents over 65.
Set on the site of the old hospital, with beautiful landscaped gardens, each one of its residents enjoys unique, personalised care, built around them and designed to make their stay with us as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible.
Visit Acton Care Centre, and you’ll find a wide range of facilities on offer, including hairdressing, chiropody, dental/eye care, and a host of social activities to keep our residents busy. Of course, the best way to see the superb care and wonderful facilities we offer is to visit for yourself, meet our care team, and see why we believe we are uniquely placed to deliver graceful, caring living.
Caring for a loved one or close friend can be a very rewarding experience, but it can also be very challenging and stressful. Our team of trained professionals can offer you as much or as little support as you need, whether that’s for a few days, a family holiday, or a long-term solution.
To us, every resident is an individual. Each has his or her own life story. Each has their own likes and dislikes. Each has their own way of living. All of our residents at Acton Care Centre enjoy their own care plan, tailored specifically for them. This allows us to build their care around their preferences, lifestyles and routines. It’s all part of our philosophy to see the person for who they are, not masked by age or condition. This genuinely caring, person-centred approach drives everything we do.

The wonderful facilities at Acton Care Centre make a world of difference to our residents. Whether it’s chatting in the cafe, pottering around the garden, or enjoying the peace and quiet of the lounge, there really is a favourite place for everyone. As you’d expect with Gold Care, we work hard to keep the home clean, comfortable, and up-to-date. We’re constantly looking for new ways to improve our environment, but above all, we will always ensure our homes remain ‘homely’. Our outside areas, including the beautiful flower beds, secluded gardens, lawns, and patio areas, are all kept perfect, so they’re ideal for a stroll or simply sitting on a bench, listening to the birds. |

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|

Our Activities Co-ordinators at Acton Care Centre play a fundamental part in enhancing the lives of our residents by creating a fun and hugely varied programme for everyone to participate in. Our range of activities is a great source of fun and laughter, and it really helps each resident live life to the fullest. We believe independent activity, hobbies, and day-to-day chores boost self-confidence. By taking the time to understand each resident's capabilities, we’re able to build a personalized activity plan. Our aim at Acton Care Centre is to create a programme that encourages as much interaction and enjoyment as possible. Most activities are indoors; however, when the weather permits, we make the most of our lovely outdoor patio areas and landscaped gardens. When our residents feel adventurous, we plan nationwide trips to popular landmarks! Find out more about daily life at this highly-rated West London nursing home. Arrange a visit today! |
