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.

The best of both worlds at Baxendale. 🎭🧘‍♂️

We believe in a "packed programme" of activities-from arts and crafts and guest speakers to trips to the theatre! Keeping active is key to physical and mental health.

But we also know that "quiet time" is just as important. Our library and sun lounge offer tranquil spaces for residents to read, play a game with a friend, or simply enjoy the view. 📖☀️

It’s all about balance. ✨

Did you know Baxendale is home to a "mini-oasis" in the heart of North London? 🌳✨

While staying social is vital, we know that true well-being comes from having a peaceful space to recharge. Every one of our rooms offers a glorious view of our vibrant gardens and grounds-complete with our very own lake! 🦆🌷

Whether it’s a quiet moment on the terrace or a stroll through the greenery, we provide the solitude our residents need to feel t

You know your loved one better than anyone else. 🤝

One of the biggest benefits of regular visits is that you are often the first to spot the "subtle" changes. Whether it’s a shift in mood or a new habit, your insights help our staff provide even better, more personalised care.

We view our residents' families as partners in health. Together, we ensure every resident at Baxendale thrives! 🌟

For our residents living with dementia, a visit from a loved one is more than just a chat - it's a powerful spark for the memory. 🧠✨

Seeing a familiar face can trigger positive emotions, reduce confusion, and provide a vital sense of identity. While our 24-hour care team is always here, there is no substitute for the unique bond of family.

The first few days in a new home are a big transition. 🏠✨
At Baxendale, we’ve found that the presence of family and those familiar personal touches-like favorite photos and keepsakes-make all the difference in helping a new resident settle in.

Your family/friends visits during those early days provide the mental comfort and "home" feeling that no one else can. 💛

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! 🥂✨

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.
