About Maristow Nursing Home

Maristow Nursing Home is a nursing home in Salisbury. We care for older people who need qualified nursing support, including many people living with dementia, and we also support people with physical disabilities and younger adults with nursing needs. Having nurses here means that changing health needs can be met without somebody having to move somewhere else at exactly the point they can least cope with it. Around that, we try to keep life ordinary, with people choosing when to get up, what they eat and how to spend their days, and with routines kept steady and unhurried for those living with dementia. We also offer respite stays, for a family carer needing a rest or for someone recovering after a hospital admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We are not going to talk our way round that. We know which parts of our work fell short of what the people here deserve, we are working through them with our team rather than waiting for the next inspection, and we would far rather you asked us about it directly than read a carefully worded sentence. You are welcome to visit on an ordinary day, meet the team, and speak to people living here and their relatives before you decide anything.
