Meet The Manager
Wendy Leaman is Manager at John Wills House.
Wendy has been working for the St Monica Trust for over 25 years. She has been the Care Home Manager at John Wills House since August 2013.
Her passion is to provide a home for our residents where they can enjoy later living and remain a part of the community. We have the ethos that John Wills House is a family and everyone in the family has a say in how the family home operates.
‘Our residents do not live in our workplace; we work in their homes’
John Wills House is one of just a few care homes in Bristol rated 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission. Known for its friendly, family atmosphere, you're guaranteed a warm welcome and exceptional care.
John Wills House is really three care homes rolled into one. The Willows provides general nursing care, whilst The Orchards offers specialist care for people living with dementia. Finally The Beeches offers short-term respite and rehabilitation care.
Although the types of care differ across the three units, the underlying principles of how this is delivered do not. Each unit brings you high quality care, tailored to your individual needs. It’s our job to get to know you and find out what’s important to you so that we can make your stay with us as fulfilling as possible. In short, to make John Wills House your home.
- Award-winning team
- Diverse activities programme
- Extensive well-being initiatives
- Rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission in January 2020
Funding and fees
We accept third-party top-up fees in certain circumstances. Each of our homes has an agreed number of placements available at the local authority rate. Where these placements are fully occupied, a third-party top-up may be requested to secure a placement until a local authority-funded bed becomes available. Our team will always discuss funding arrangements fully and transparently with prospective residents and their families.
