Patron House
Bristol, BS9 3RU
Situated in Westbury-on-Trym, Patron House is unusual as a care home for older people as it is smaller in scale than many, accommodating a maximum of 12 people. The detached house is set in a large garden at the junction of Stoke Lane and Parry’s Lane. The Stoke Lane shops are a short walk. We believe the myth of the care home is not reflective of life at Patron House where there is minimum structure to the day and staff go with the flow wherever possible, responding to peoples wishes as and when they arrive.
We have 10 single occupancy rooms and a suite that comprises of two inter-connecting rooms and a bathroom which can be occupied by an individual or a couple. Residents can make use of a large lounge on the ground floor or the quiet lounge next to it that provides ample seating space. The dining room provides an intimate seating arrangement with small tables and built in feature period cabinets. The first floor can be accessed via our chairlift.
Our Home Manager Norman will be happy to tell you more about Patron House or arrange a visit for you to see for yourself.
