Home Sweet Home in Wychbold

Wychbold is a village in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire. The village is situated on the A38 between Droitwich Spa and Bromsgrove, and by Junction 5 of the M5 motorway.

The first records of Wychbold suggest that it was of great importance to the Anglo-Saxons, particularly in regards to its proximity to Droitwich Spa. The name Wychbold is derived from the Old English wīc–bold, meaning "Dwelling near the trading settlement". It has been recorded as Uuicbold (692) and Wicelbold (1086, Domesday Book). The "wych" element ("near the trading settlement") is likely to refer to Droitwich.[2]

Wychbold is located on an old Roman road and salt road, now the A38. The River Salwarpe runs around the outside of the village. Romans are believed to have settled in the Wychbold area between the 1st and 4th century, shown by the presence of Severn Valley and samian pottery.

The earliest known record of Wychbold is in a charter of 692 (where it is known as Uuicbold), describing how Æthelred of Mercia "granted ten hides of land there to his thegn Oslaf". The charter is generally considered to be fabricated, but describes the village as being "distinguished", suggesting that the village belonged to royalty at the time. The next known record of Wychbold is in a charter issued by Coenwulf of Mercia in 815. In this, and a later charter issued by Wiglaf of Mercia in 831,Wychbold is referred to as a royal vill, suggesting its importance as a royal base or even residence.

During the Second World War, communal air raid shelters were built on either end of Wychbold, along with a concrete blast shelter near the main road. The village's Home Guard worked out of the Crown Inn.

Wychbold is primarily governed by Dodderhill Parish Council, which performs maintenance on the village's public areas. It is then governed by Wychavon District Council. It falls within the Mid Worcestershire constituency, being represented in Parliament by Nigel Huddleston.

Webbs of Wychbold, a garden centre, is located just outside of Wychbold, and hires large numbers of staff from the local area. It is known for the number of events it puts on throughout the year, such as their Christmas ice rink, which bring visitors to the village. There is also a Hobbycraft and Cotswold Outdoor within the garden centre.[

Wychbold's parish church is the church of St Mary de Wyche, located within the Anglican Diocese of Worcester. The Grade II* listed church was built between 1888 and 1889, funded by the Amphlett family and John Corbett, an industrialist and the local Member of Parliament. The southeast tower contains an original late 13th century doorway.

What makes Right at Home Bromsgrove Different

We offer Home Care Services to seniors and adults in the Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Redditch areas, including those with physical and cognitive impairment needs such as Dementia. Our highly-trained CareGivers deliver services that are tailored to each individual's needs through a Personalised Care Plan. Our CareGivers take pride and aim to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve every day.

At Right at Home, we carefully match our CareGivers and Clients based on their interests and personalities. Before our CareGivers start providing support independently, they are first introduced to their Clients. This introduction is very important as it helps to build trust and comfort, which are essential for effective caregiving. This initial meeting also allows the client to get to know the CareGiver and establish a personal connection, which can help to reduce any anxiety that may be associated with receiving care from someone new. Introductory visits also add to the CareGiver’s understanding of the client's specific needs, preferences, and expectations, which enables them to contribute to a more personalised and responsive care plan.

We have a professional dress code but do not wear a uniform, as we recognise that some of our Clients would prefer a discreet service when we accompany them out and about in the local community and surrounding areas. This approach not only respects the individuality and preferences of our clients but also helps in maintaining their dignity and sense of normalcy, making our presence more like that of a companion than a service provider.

We pride ourselves on being quick to react, vigilant in our duty of care, and always aiming to leave a smile on our clients' faces. By prioritising prompt responsiveness and a caring attitude, we not only ensure the well-being and safety of our clients, but also foster a positive and uplifting atmosphere, which enhances their overall quality of life with each visit.

No Rushed Visits - Our preferred visit time for homecare services is a minimum of one hour. While some care companies offer 15-minute care calls, we believe that this duration is not enough to provide high-quality, impactful, and long-lasting care. Therefore, we provide premium-quality homecare services for a minimum of one hour to ensure that our clients receive the best possible care.
