About Kingston House

We are a residential care home in Calne, providing a home for older people who need some help to get comfortably through the day. We try hard to keep the atmosphere of a house rather than an institution, with people bringing their own furniture and pictures and carrying on with the things they have always enjoyed. We help with personal care, mobility, meals and medication, and we look after people living with dementia. What makes the real difference with dementia, in our experience, is familiar staff, routines that stay steady and enough time that nothing needs to be rushed. We also support people with a physical disability, thinking carefully about how rooms are set up and how we work so that independence is not quietly eroded by small obstacles. Respite stays are available as well. A planned break can be what allows a family carer to keep going, and a short stay is also a gentle way of finding out whether a care home is the right step. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We would much rather a resident or relative raised a concern while it was still small, so we ask often and we act on what we hear. Please do come and visit. Looking round and meeting people tells you far more than anything written down.
