About Watermoor House
Watermoor House provides residential, respite and dementia care in a Georgian setting in Cirencester. Its approach centres on understanding each resident’s life story, routines, preferences and personality, so daily support can be shaped around the individual rather than a fixed routine.
Residents can make choices about how they spend their day, when they eat and how they personalise their room. Care assessments take place before admission, with plans reviewed and adjusted as needs change, involving residents, families and relevant professionals. The home is within walking distance of Cirencester town centre, giving residents access to local markets, cafés, parks and community life alongside its peaceful grounds.
