Baxendale Care Home

Baxendale is a residential care home, set in Whetstone, North London. We have 55 rooms for elderly people, and a beautiful lake as our back drop.

Resident care, activity and friendship go together beautifully at Baxendale. Our purpose built home opened on our present site in 1963, but our tradition of care goes back to 1861 and the original Baxendale Home, now the site of the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Within Baxendale you’ll find modern facilities: light airy rooms, dedicated, caring staff and happy, active residents. Our facilities include a five star rated kitchen, 24 hour-a-day care and a full programme of activities. Our home contains several spacious lounges and a bright dining room looking out across a shimmering lake.

There's nothing quite like gathering together, especially during Christmas, to share the magic of music. Our residents have been enjoying beautiful melodies, and it's wonderful to see the smiles and hear the cheerful sounds throughout our home. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

The halls were decked and the spirits were high! ❤️ We had a magical time at our annual Baxendale Christmas Party. From a spirited rendition of 'The 12 Days of Christmas' to a delicious festive buffet, it was a joy to see our residents and their families celebrating together.

The highlight? A visit from Santa himself to make sure everyone felt the Christmas magic! 🥂✨

To celebrate Diwali last week, our residents got stuck into some fantastic arts and crafts!

They focused on beautiful Indian-themed designs, painting and decorating little tea light holders. They also created stunning decorated hands and intricate Mandala patterns.

The results were absolutely wonderful and added a special sparkle to our celebratory Diwali lunch!

Baxendale Care Home - Actively Caring Since 1861

Within Baxendale you’ll find modern facilities: light airy rooms, dedicated, caring staff and happy, active residents. Our facilities include a five star rated kitchen, 24 hour-a-day care and a full programme of activities. Our home contains several spacious lounges and a bright dining room looking out across a shimmering lake.

Getting old isn’t what it used to be. For our residents it’s about keeping their minds stimulated and their bodies active, which is exactly what we work towards at Baxendale Care Home. Our large-print library is in constant use, and conversation in the lounges and dining room is still loud, lively and full of laughter.

We have a well thought out and extensive programme of care home activities that includes coffee mornings, professional entertainers, movement to music, church services, buffet lunches, bingo and quizzes. For the many residents who enjoy a day out, we also organise trips to the theatre, to local religious centres – and even to the pub.
