About Stainsbridge House

Stainsbridge House is a residential care home in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. We support older people, including those living with dementia and those living with mental ill health, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Most people arrive having found managing at home steadily harder, and what they are hoping for is some relief from that. Meals they do not have to plan or cook. Help on hand when washing and dressing has become a struggle. Someone who notices if they seem off colour. Company if they want it, and quiet if they do not. Residents keep running their own lives as far as they can. They choose their routines, arrange their rooms as they wish and decide how sociable to be. We encourage people to bring their own things, because familiar surroundings make the first few weeks far easier. A fair part of our work involves people living with dementia alongside long standing mental ill health, which is a combination that can see people moved from place to place. We would rather be somewhere that holds steady. Consistent staff, a predictable day and treating distress as something with a cause do most of the work. Respite stays suit family carers needing a break and people recovering from illness or a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The only real way to judge a home is to stand in it, so please come and visit Stainsbridge House.
