About Us

Here at Bassett House, we provide nursing home care for people in the heart of Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. We are proud to support a wide range of individuals, including older people, those living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, those with visual or hearing impairments, and younger adults who need nursing care or a shorter respite stay.

We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment you get in touch with us, we aim to be straightforward, honest and welcoming. We want people to feel at home here, not just settled in, and we work hard to make sure each person is treated as an individual with their own history, preferences and routines.

Our nursing care team is on hand around the clock, providing clinical support alongside the kind of attentive, personal care that genuinely makes a difference to daily life. For those living with dementia, we take a thoughtful approach that focuses on familiarity, calm and meaningful connection rather than simply managing symptoms.

Respite care is something we offer with the same level of attention as our longer term placements. Whether someone needs a short break for recovery or to give a family carer some breathing space, we aim to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

Our most recent Care Quality Commission rating is Good, which reflects the commitment of our whole team and the standards we hold ourselves to every day. That said, we never see a good rating as a reason to stand still. We are always listening, learning and looking for ways to improve.

If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, we would love to hear from you.
