About Us: Activity in tranquillity

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.

We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who monitor and inspect care homes to ensure they meet high standards. Baxendale has earned their maximum three star rating, with our kitchen receiving a superb five star rating.

As a non-profit making Charitable Trust, our Trustees ensure that all income is used for the benefit of our current - and future - residents. This enables us to keep our charges to the minimum.

Whether you're interested in residential status, a short term stay or respite care, walk through our door, take a look around and you'll begin to understand why our residents say "I'm home".

Facilities Page: You're home…

Looking out over the trees of Totteridge is a view many of our residents enjoy from their rooms. Although Baxendale is nestled in a secluded corner of Whetstone, the shops and Underground Station are only a short distance away.

Baxendale has 55 clean and spacious bedrooms with either en suite bathrooms or private washing facilities. We also have 'special assist' baths for our less able residents.

Throughout Baxendale you'll discover quiet lounges and vibrant communal spaces designed to suit the mood of our residents. Our main lounge provides residents with a large flatscreen television, while our sun lounge is a quiet space to enjoy the view across the tranquil grounds and sparkling lake.

In the summer, our residents can take a gentle walk around the lake and our beautiful gardens. All year round they can watch the changing seasons reflected in its surface and in the shifting colours of the surrounding landscape.

Entrance to Baxendale is only through a controlled access system, while a private car park is available for visitors and staff.

Everything our residents need is here, because Baxendale is more than a care home, it's their home.
