About Anning House

Anning House is a nursing home in Weymouth, Dorset. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults, including specialist support for those living with dementia, for people with a physical disability, and for residents with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite care for planned short stays. Because we have nurses on the team, people can stay with us as their health needs change rather than being moved on. Medication, wound care, continence, nutrition and the daily management of long term conditions are all handled here by people who know the resident well and who notice when something is different. Families tell us that is the part that lets them sleep at night. Alongside that, we try to keep the home feeling like a home. Residents decide when to get up, where to spend the day and how much company they want. Meals are proper meals and we pay attention to what people actually like. Some enjoy everything that is going on, others prefer their own room and their own routine, and both are entirely fine by us. Dementia care shapes how the whole house runs. We keep things calm and familiar, avoid rushing anyone, and spend time understanding what settles a particular person rather than applying a single approach to everybody. Weymouth is a good place to live and we make the most of it, including the sea air whenever the weather allows. Visitors are always welcome. If you would like to look round, please contact us.
