About Stokeleigh

Stokeleigh is a residential care home in Bristol, offering older people and younger adults a comfortable place to live with support always close at hand. We try to keep the feel of a household rather than an institution, with days led by the people living them. Supporting residents living with dementia is a large part of our work. We do that by learning who each person is, keeping routines familiar and the day unhurried, explaining changes before they happen, and treating distress as something with a cause rather than as behaviour to be managed. Our team helps with personal care, medication, mobility and meals, and equally with the parts of the day that give it value: conversation, company for those who want it, quiet for those who do not, and time outdoors when the weather allows. Rooms are personalised and relatives are welcome whenever they can come. Respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period, which some families use as a break and others as a gentle first step. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking at care homes in Bristol, please come and see us on an ordinary day and ask us whatever you like.
