About Laverstock Care Centre

Laverstock Care Centre in Salisbury provides nursing and personal care for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours, working alongside carers who know the people they look after. We manage wound care, support with medication, continence care and the monitoring of long term conditions, and we work closely with GPs and community specialists so that changes in health are acted on early rather than late. Nursing is the foundation, but people live here and a day made up only of treatment is not much of a day. So we cook food that people actually want, keep each room personal to the person in it, make time for company and conversation, and get people out into the fresh air when the weather allows. For those living with dementia we keep routines steady and surroundings familiar, and we watch carefully for discomfort that somebody may not be able to describe. Families are welcome here and we keep them informed as a matter of habit rather than only when something has gone wrong. Respite and short stays can be arranged, including for people leaving hospital who need a period of nursing care. If you are looking at nursing homes in Wiltshire, please telephone us and arrange to visit.
