Which nursing homes in the South West offer nursing care?

Our directory currently lists 518 nursing homes across the South West, ranging from small independent houses to larger group-run services. Examples from the listings include Henford House, Amesbury Abbey Care Home, Wiltshire Heights Care Home, Trevaylor Manor and Chelston Park Nursing and Residential Home. Each home varies in the type of nursing it provides, so it is worth filtering by location and by any specialisms such as dementia nursing or palliative care. You can view the full list on this page and open individual profiles for more detail.

What is the difference between a residential care home and a nursing home in the South West?

A residential care home provides personal care, help with washing, dressing, meals, medication prompts and daily activities, but it does not have qualified nurses on duty. A nursing home is registered to provide the same personal care and also has registered nurses on shift twenty four hours a day, which is required when someone has ongoing clinical needs. These can include complex wound care, PEG feeding, catheter management, insulin by injection, or advanced palliative care. If in doubt, a care needs assessment will make clear which registration category is appropriate.

What should I ask when visiting a nursing home in the South West?

Ask how many registered nurses are on duty during the day and at night, and how the home covers nursing absence. Ask how care plans are written and reviewed, how the home works with GPs, district nurses and hospital teams, and how families are kept informed if a resident's condition changes. It helps to ask about food choices, activities, visiting arrangements and end of life care, and to see a sample room rather than only the show room. Reading the most recent CQC report alongside your visit gives useful context.

How do I arrange a care needs assessment in the South West?

You can contact the local authority's adult social care team directly and request an assessment, or ask a GP, district nurse or hospital discharge team to make the referral for you. The assessment is free and is available to anyone who appears to need care and support, regardless of income. A social worker or assessor will look at daily needs, safety at home, clinical needs and the views of the person and their family. The outcome is a written record that guides both the care plan and any funding decision.

Can the local authority fund a nursing home placement in the South West?

Yes, the local authority can contribute to nursing home fees where a financial assessment shows that the person's capital is below the national threshold and their eligible needs meet the criteria. Where the person is assessed as having a nursing need, the NHS also pays a set weekly amount known as NHS-funded Nursing Care directly to the home. If the primary need is a health need, NHS Continuing Healthcare may cover the full cost of the placement. Homes and social workers can help you understand which route applies.

How far in advance should I start looking for a nursing home in the South West?

Where possible, it helps to begin looking as soon as nursing care seems likely, even if a move is still weeks away. Popular homes in the South West can have waiting lists, and starting early gives time to visit several options, read CQC reports and complete a care needs assessment without pressure. In hospital discharge situations the timescale is often much shorter, sometimes only a few days, so it is worth shortlisting two or three homes in advance if a family member's health is declining. Speaking to homes early also lets you understand fees and any funding routes before decisions have to be made.

Choosing a nursing home in the South West: what matters most

With 518 nursing homes listed across the South West, the choice can feel wide before it feels manageable. Nursing homes differ from residential settings because they have registered nurses on duty around the clock, which matters when a loved one has complex medical needs, advanced frailty, or a condition that needs regular clinical monitoring. The CQC ratings across the region reflect a real mix: many providers hold a Good rating, a smaller number are rated Outstanding, some are marked Requires Improvement, and a few are not yet rated because they are newly registered or awaiting inspection.

Reading CQC reports carefully

A single rating rarely tells the whole story. Homes such as Chelston Park Nursing and Residential Home and Castle House Nursing Home Limited hold an Outstanding rating, while widely rated Good providers in the sample include Henford House, Bourne House, Wiltshire Heights Care Home, Amesbury Abbey Care Home and Trevaylor Manor. Where a home is currently rated Requires Improvement, such as Carisbrooke Nursing Home or Stratton House Nursing Home, read the inspection report itself to see what the concerns were and whether the provider has responded with a clear action plan.

Practical things to look for on a visit

Beyond the paperwork, walk the corridors at different times of day. Notice how staff speak to residents, whether call bells are answered promptly, how meals are served, and whether the atmosphere feels calm. Ask about the ratio of qualified nurses to residents on each shift, how the home manages GP visits, pressure care, medication reviews and end of life planning, and whether specialist nursing for dementia, Parkinson's or stroke recovery is available if that is relevant to your situation.

Arranging and funding nursing care in the South West

Most families come to nursing care after a hospital stay, a fall, or a gradual decline that home care can no longer safely cover. The starting point is usually a care needs assessment, which looks at daily living, mobility, medication, continence, cognition and any clinical needs a nurse would normally manage.

The care needs assessment

You can request an assessment from the local authority social care team for anyone who appears to need support, and it is free regardless of income or savings. The assessment produces a written record of eligible needs, and this becomes the basis for any care plan and any funding decision. If nursing needs are identified, the NHS will also carry out a checklist for NHS Continuing Healthcare, and a separate assessment for NHS-funded Nursing Care, which contributes a set weekly amount towards the nursing element of the fees in any home registered for nursing.

How costs typically work

Nursing home fees in the South West vary by location, room type and the complexity of care required, and they are generally higher than fees for residential-only settings because of the qualified nursing on site. A financial assessment carried out by the local authority looks at capital and income to decide whether care will be state funded, part funded, or paid privately. NHS-funded Nursing Care is paid on top of this where a resident is assessed as needing nursing, and full NHS Continuing Healthcare covers the whole placement where a person's primary need is a health need. It is worth asking each home for a written breakdown of what is included in the weekly fee, what is charged as an extra, and how and when fees are reviewed.
