About Aldbourne Nursing Home

Aldbourne Nursing Home is near Marlborough in Wiltshire. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, including people living with dementia, and we take respite admissions alongside permanent places. Qualified nurses are on site around the clock, so we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing, manage a good deal here rather than in hospital, and give care towards the end of life calmly and without rush. Families are not left wondering what happens overnight. Alongside the clinical work we try hard to hold on to the ordinary things, because they are what people actually live on. Being up, dressed and comfortable. Food worth eating. Somebody to talk to. A day with some shape to it. Dementia care runs through much of what we do. We keep the environment calm, routines familiar and staffing as steady as we can, and we spend time learning about each person's life so that we can make sense of what they are telling us when words become difficult, and respond to the feeling rather than just the behaviour. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, which we take as a foundation rather than a conclusion. Families are welcome at Aldbourne at any reasonable hour, and we would much rather hear a concern at the time than long afterwards. Please contact us if you would like to look round.
