Always a warm welcome

Nestled in a leafy, secluded corner of Whetstone, Baxendale Care Home has been providing the very highest standards in the care of older people since 1861. We have been actively caring for over 160 years as a care home in North London, yet our outlook is decidedly modern.

We have recently undergone a major refurbishment to ensure that all our residents can enjoy bright, spacious rooms with elegant, private en-suite bathrooms. In addition, every bedroom at our care home benefits from the most stunning view of our gardens and picture-perfect lake.

Always actively caring

Core to our approach is that we’re a home first, and care home second. Ensuring that our residents have everything they need, are comfortable and safe, and above all feel right at home with us, is of the utmost importance.

We are pleased to offer long-term residential stays, short-term stays, respite care and specialist dementia care. We’re a team with an abundance of energy and positivity, striving for excellence and quality in everything that we do. Our staff and residents are happy, thriving men and women aged from 65, who come from all backgrounds and faiths, each of whom bring colour and vibrancy to our extended family.

Always available to talk

We know and understand how important good communication is between you, our residents and our team. We pride ourselves on our warm but professional relationships and look forward to getting to know you. Please get in touch today to arrange a visit or to discuss your personal circumstances in total confidence.

60 years of exceptional care

In 2025, Baxendale proudly marked its 60th anniversary – a remarkable milestone in our journey of always actively caring.

We commemorated this special occasion with a celebration at our newly refurbished home.

I have made many new friends since coming here and we all look after each other.
