Our Accommodation

Stainsbridge House is an attractive 18th Century property near the centre of Malmesbury. We have private parking and a large, level garden extending down to the River Avon (Tetbury Branch).   We offer a safe and secure environment for the people who live with us. All our bedrooms have televisions, telephones, emergency call points and en-suite facilities including level access showers in most rooms. We have a lounge and dining area on each floor and and a large modern lift.

The way we care

Stainsbridge House is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide 24-hour residential care for older people with a dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia or Parkinson’s disease. Amanda Pearson, our home manager, has considerable experience of caring for older people with dementias. Amanda leads a team of carers specially trained to care for the people who live with us and we ensure that staff display respect and understanding at all times. We never use agency staff as we believe that they cannot give the continuity of care that we feel is so important.

The people who live with us at Stainsbridge House have varying needs so we tailor our care to suit each individual. Our staffing levels are higher than those found in non-dementia care homes and our routines are more flexible. We focus on what each person is still able to do rather than what they cannot do and we support people to maintain their independence and make their own daily decisions wherever possible even where this means accepting some risk.

Making Stainsbridge House your home

We invite all prospective residents to visit us, if they can, to view the home and to meet our staff and residents. If this is not possible then we will visit a prospective resident in their own home or in hospital. Our rooms are fully furnished but we can make space for most items of personal furniture a resident might wish to bring and we are happy to collect items locally in advance of admission so that a new resident feels at home as soon as they arrive. If we cannot offer a resident the room of their choice when they come to us then we are more than happy for them to move within the home when a preferred room does become available. We welcome visitors at any time and they are welcome to dine with residents if they wish (there is no charge for this).

We place great emphasis on our catering and we provide for each resident’s needs individually because we know that good nutrition is vital to maintain health and wellbeing. Residents can have meals in their rooms if they wish but we encourage everyone to come to the dining room, if they can, for most meals. Lunch is the main meal of the day and we have a daily menu. Choices are also available for breakfast and supper and residents may have a snack or drink at any other time of the day or night.

Our activities team arranges regular entertainment and activities within the home. Church of England services and Roman Catholic Communion are held regularly in the home and residents may attend if they wish. Our activities team will also helps with personal shopping, outings, appointments and contact with family and friends including using our free wireless internet and Skype service so residents can keep in touch with family and friends anywhere in the world.

We have a hair salon in the home and our hairdresser, Tracey, visits weekly.

Short Stays (Respite Care)

We offer respite care, generally for a defined period perhaps to help someone recuperate after a spell in hospital or perhaps to give family carers a break. New friendships are made and we often see respite residents more than once!

NHS and Other Services

We have an excellent GP practice in Malmesbury and most residents find it convenient to join their patient list. If necessary, we can take residents to the surgery but, as the doctors visit us regularly this is not normally necessary. We also provide full guidance about other NHS services such as physiotherapy, chiropody and dental care and the relevant practitioners also visit us regularly.

Fees

Our fees cover all the normal day-to-day needs of our residents including care and attention, food, laundry, entertainment, activities, and local excursions etc.

Most of our residents are self-funding but there are various benefits and payments available to self-funding residents. Local authorities can also offer financial assistance to individuals where capital is below £23,500. Our financial manager, Christine Bowers, is happy to offer informal advice to prospective residents in connection with any  funding issues - please feel free to call her on 01275 374669.

Room Fees (Permanent or respite care)

Single room with en-suite WC and vanity basin (and shower) £425-525 per week.
