A True Home Away From Home Experience

Our home has been thoughtfully designed to support older adults who may need varying levels of assistance. From the comfortable en-suite bedrooms to our welcoming lounges and landscaped garden areas, every part of Ridgeway Rise reflects our commitment to creating a homely and supportive space.

Although respite stays are short-term, the care and attention each individual receives match what is offered to our long-term residents. Whether you have residential, nursing or dementia care needs, you can rest assured that we can support you at Ridgeway Rise.

Many of our respite residents return to us multiple times because they feel relaxed and at ease with our team, routines and environment.

Whether a person is with us for a few nights or several weeks, they are always treated with respect, compassion and genuine interest in who they are.

As the top care home in Wiltshire, we understand how important it is for people to retain their independence, even when they need support in some areas. Our approach is always supportive rather than intrusive, ensuring every guest feels in control and fully informed at all times.
