Wain House Care Home Opens in Westgate-on-Sea and Welcomes its First Residents

Avante Care & Support has announced that Wain House located in Westgate-on-Sea has officially opened its doors welcoming its first residents today.

In the lead-up to opening, visitors were invited to a series of open days to explore the care home, offering a glimpse of life at Wain House ahead of its February 2026 opening.

Today, that vision becomes a reality as the first two residents, husband and wife Harold and Ruth, move into the new home together.

Harold and Ruth are childhood sweethearts who first met at just 13 years old. Having spent a lifetime side by side, they knew they did not want to be apart when they began to need additional care and support. After careful consideration, they chose Wain House as the place to begin their next chapter together.

Joined by their loved ones, Harold and Ruth were welcomed today by the team at Wain House as they settled into their new en-suite rooms, thoughtfully personalised with treasured photographs and familiar belongings. There were smiles, laughter and a few happy tears as staff ensured the couple felt at ease from the very first moment they arrived.
