About Middlefields House
Here at Middlefields House, we offer residential care for older people in the heart of Chippenham, Wiltshire. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in every single day to make sure the people living with us feel safe, comfortable and truly at home. We support older adults with a range of needs, including those living with dementia. We understand that moving into a care home is a significant step, both for the person coming to live with us and for their family, so we take the time to get to know each individual properly. What matters to them, how they like to spend their days, what brings them comfort — these things shape how we provide care, not the other way around. For those living with dementia, we work to create an environment that feels calm and familiar, where routines can be maintained and people can continue to feel like themselves. Our approach is patient and unhurried, because we know that feeling understood makes a real difference. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or are recovering from a period of illness, and we aim to make even a short stay feel settled and welcoming rather than temporary. Families are always welcome here. We believe that staying connected to the people you love is an important part of wellbeing, and we do our best to make relatives feel like a natural part of life at Middlefields House. If you would like to find out more about whether we might be the right fit for you or someone you care about, we would be very happy to have a conversation or arrange a visit at a time that suits you.
