Davenham, Malvern - Residential care home
Davenham in Malvern, a commanding, stone-built Victorian house, was previously the home of the Perrins family, whose name is inextricably linked to the famous Worcestershire sauce. Now converted to an inviting residential home for older people, it retains the character of a fine period house, with many of the original frescoes, paintings and decorations preserved.
Located at the foot of the Malvern Hills with the Cotswolds and Bredon Hills in the distance, Davenham is registered for 37 residents and the home’s rooms overlook the fine extensive grounds, which feature many rare imported and exotic trees and shrubs. In warmer weather, the garden is a popular area for walks or for sitting on the shaded veranda.
Davenham has a very active local volunteer support group, which organises concerts, functions, history and art talks, tea parties and visits which all help new residents feel welcome. In the same grounds is the lovely Perrins House, which offers nursing facilities to those who need them.
