About Old Sarum Manor

Old Sarum Manor is a residential care home in Salisbury caring for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss. We aim for a home where people are known properly rather than simply looked after. That means staff who stay long enough to learn somebody's history, habits and preferences, and care planned with the person instead of written about them. Help is given with washing and dressing, with moving about safely, with medication and with eating and drinking well, and it is given at the pace of the person. For those living with dementia we keep the day predictable and the surroundings familiar, adjust how we communicate rather than expecting the person to adjust to us, and treat distress as something to be understood. Families usually know a great deal about what works, so we ask and we listen. The home is somewhere people live. Rooms are personalised, meals are cooked here with a real choice, there is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not, and visitors are welcome. Respite and short stays can be arranged. If you would like to look round, please telephone us and we will arrange a time to suit you.
