A warm welcome to our home

In the heart of Wing Village, a new care home is taking shape - where every day will be shaped by the people who live here. Our care home has been thoughtfully refurbished to offer modern, comfortable surroundings designed with today’s residents in mind.

Located in the quiet village of Wing, just outside Leighton Buzzard, our home is a short walk from the village centre in a peaceful setting, right at the heart of the local community.

Be among the first to choose one of our 75 en-suite bedrooms, with views of our green spaces, and designed to support comfort, independence, and dignity.

A supported care path through every chapter

At Wing View, we offer a full range of care tailored to individual needs, including residential, dementia, respite, day care and reablement. Whether you are with us for the day, a short stay or a new chapter of life, we offer a supported care path that adapts as your needs change.

Our dedicated team focuses on what matters most to each resident: promoting independence, dignity and wellbeing. From specialist support to everyday routines, we take the time to get to know each person, so care always feels tailored, respectful and consistent.

Modern comfort with a personal touch

Each of our 75 rooms have been newly refurbished, with new furniture, freshly painted spaces, and en-suite wet rooms as standard. Each room is generously sized and ready to be made your own, residents are encouraged to bring personal touches and favourite belongings, creating a space that feels familiar, comforting, and truly yours.

Whether enjoying quiet time in the privacy of your room or spending time with visitors in one of our shared lounges or cosy seating areas, residents have a choice of welcoming, well-designed spaces - each with its own character, charm, and sense of home.

A place to live well, your way

At Wing View, our lifestyle and wellbeing programme is designed to help each resident live life well. Led by our dedicated activity coordinators, it offers a variety of ways to stay active, creative and connected - from arts and music to gentle exercise and community events.

Every day brings opportunities to spend time with others or enjoy a quiet moment, with home-cooked meals, welcoming spaces and support for emotional and physical wellbeing.

It’s a lifestyle built around choice, meaning and the things that make life feel good.

For people, not profit

Wing View Care Centre is proud to be part of The Orders of St John Care Trust, a leading not-for-profit care provider with over 100 years of heritage. This means we reinvest back into what matters most - our homes, our staff, and most importantly, the people we support.

Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we at OSJCT feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in.

Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at Wing View Care Centre. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships.

We are also fortunate to have the support of many volunteers of all ages from the local community, strengthening our links to this thriving market town. Here is a sample of activities on offer:

  • Trips to garden centres, cafés, pub’s, sporting events, National Trust parks, wildlife parks, aquariums and museums
  • Visit from Pets as Therapy Dogs
  • Exercise and wellness activities, for example Seated Yoga, Zumba
  • Fun activities with the local toddler and nursery group
  • Board game competitions and quizzes
  • Gardening
  • Arts and crafts
  • Communal Church services

With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends.

And that’s not all:

We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more.

Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound.

The talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals on site daily from our own kitchens. We source quality produce for our excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. All-day dining is available for lighter meals and snacks and all dishes are carefully balanced to get the best nutritional value and cater for individual dietary requirements and preferences.

Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join us. The menus change daily and the kettle is always on. Our chef bakes every day so there is always a fresh cake for residents, friends and families to enjoy.

Each of the households has their own small kitchen dining room where residents can take their meals if they wish. Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food and to make snacks whenever they choose.

Julie has worked in the care sector for nearly 40 years and can’t imagine doing anything else.

Julie says that one of the best things about her job is knowing that residents are living their best life, seeing their smiles, and knowing they are receiving exceptional care.

She strives for continuous improvement and like to be hands-on and involved in the day-to-day care of her residents. I have always maintained effective communication with my team, residents, and their families and feel that it is important to get to know everyone. 

Julie believes in strong community engagement, as it is important that our home is part of our local community.

Her commitment to professional development has equipped her well for her role at Wing View Care Centre, where she works hard to ensure that those in her care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.

Julie feels that the Orders of St John Care Trust’s philosophy is in line with her own beliefs on care provision and she is committed to ensuring that all residents continue to receive the high levels of care and protection they deserve.
