About Lodge
We at Westbury Lodge offer residential care in the heart of Westbury, Wiltshire, providing a welcoming home for older people, younger adults, and those living with a wide range of support needs. Our setting blends the calm of small town Wiltshire life with the warmth of a community focused care home in the South West. Tucked within the BA postcode area, our home benefits from the gentle pace and familiar surroundings that Westbury offers. Residents can enjoy the comforts of a homely environment whilst remaining close to local amenities, green spaces, and the rhythms of town life that so many families value when choosing a long term home for someone they love. As a residential care home, we support a broad spectrum of needs under one roof. Our specialisms include older person care, dementia care, mental health support, and care for adults living with learning disabilities or autism. We also welcome younger adults and those with visual or hearing impairments, recognising that every individual brings their own story, preferences, and pace. In practice, this means our team takes time to understand each resident as a person first, shaping daily routines, companionship, and personal care around what genuinely matters to them. For families, it offers the reassurance that a loved one's needs, however complex or evolving, can be met within a familiar setting by people who know them well. Day to day, our focus is on dignity, warmth, and meaningful connection. Whether that involves a quiet cup of tea in a favourite chair, support with mobility, gentle encouragement through the changes that dementia can bring, or steady reassurance for someone managing their mental health, we aim to make every interaction feel personal. We work closely with relatives, healthcare professionals, and community partners to ensure care plans remain responsive as circumstances change. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out on 10 December 2025, rated Westbury Lodge as Requires Improvement overall. Within that, our inspectors recognised Good ratings across the Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains, reflecting the kindness of our team, the quality of the support residents receive, and our commitment to listening and adapting. The Safe and Well led domains were rated Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously. It gives us a clear, honest roadmap for the areas where we are actively strengthening our practice, leadership, and oversight. We believe transparency matters, and we are committed to building on what is already working well whilst addressing what needs to improve. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring residential care in Westbury or the wider Wiltshire area for an older relative, a younger adult, or someone living with dementia or other support needs, we warmly invite you to get in touch.
