About Market Lavington Care Home
Market Lavington is a nursing home near Devizes, Wiltshire. We care for older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing, including many living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays. Because nursing is provided here, nobody reaches a point of being too unwell to stay. That matters to residents and it matters to families who have already arranged one difficult move. We also watch for the drift towards a clinical atmosphere. People here are residents rather than patients, and the day should look like it: meals worth finishing, getting outside when the weather allows, help without a long wait, and privacy that is actually respected. For residents with physical disabilities we plan the practical side around what a person can still do for themselves rather than what is quickest for us. Independence surrendered for convenience is rarely returned. We also keep an eye on pain in people who cannot easily report it. Unexplained restlessness is usually a message rather than a behaviour, and reading it as one is among the more important things our staff do. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We would rather show you an ordinary weekday than a prepared visit, so come whenever suits you.
