Where are we?
We’re in a quiet residential area in Compton, just off Compton Road, on the outskirts of Wolverhampton. Engelberg offers spacious bedrooms, a music lounge, TV lounge and activities room.
Activities, trips and events
Our two Activity Coordinators keep our residents active and entertained with a fun-packed calendar. Activities include: singing and music sessions, art and crafts, exercise programmes, reflexology and hand massages, church services twice a week plus personal support from our Chaplain who is employed at Engelberg and many more…!
We regularly take residents on trips. Recent outings include shopping, trips to the theatre and cinema, visit to a garden centre, afternoon tea and barge trips on the canal. Our residents tell us what they would like to do, and we do our best to make it happen.
And we love any excuse to put on a themed event. Throughout the year you’ll see events including a St Patrick's Day celebration (with Guinness Cake!), Easter Extravaganza and annual summer fete.
Chaplaincy and pastoral care
We are proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain at Engelberg, who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Our Chaplain is in the home 2 days a week, providing a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members – irrespective of their beliefs – and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.
Visit us for an afternoon
If you’d like to experience living at Engelberg, we’d love to invite you for lunch and to spend an afternoon with us. It’s the best way to really get a feel for our friendly home and decide if we’re right for you.
Join us for our regular coffee morning on the last Saturday of every month, 10:30am – 12:30pm.
Why are we called Engelberg?
One of our most asked questions! Engelberg was opened in 1966 thanks to a generous gift from local businessman, Mr John Bates. In memory of his wife he donated £50,000 to MHA for a care home to be built in or near Wolverhampton. Engelberg had been the name of the Bate’s home, chosen in memory of the Swiss resort where they spent their honeymoon.
Over 75 years’ experience
MHA is an award-winning charity, helping to improve the lives of over 18,000 older people across Britain. Through specialist care homes, retirement living schemes and vibrant community projects, we have been enabling people to live later life well for over 75 years. Find out more about us.
