Stainsbridge House – Specialist Dementia Care

Welcome

We are open to visitors and new residents. However, we ask that visitors phone ahead to book a time to visit.

Making Stainsbridge House
Your Home

We provide residential care for older people with a dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia or Parkinson’s disease.

Stainsbridge House is an attractive 18th Century property near the centre of Malmesbury. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide care for older people with dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia or Parkinson’s disease. We offer a safe and secure environment for the people who live with us.

All our bedrooms have nurse call points and en-suite facilities including level-access showers in most rooms. We also have a day space on each floor. We have private parking and a large, safe, level garden running alongside the Tetbury Branch of the River Avon.

The Way We Care

Our Acting Home Manager, Mandy McNally, has worked at Stainsbridge House for 7 years and she leads an experienced and stable team of carers and support staff.

Our residents have varying needs so we tailor our care to suit each individual. Our routines are flexible and we support people to maintain their independence and make their own choices wherever possible.

Our current CQC inspection rating (dated 21.6.19 and not updated due to the pandemic), is Requires Improvement and we were given ‘Good’ ratings for Effective, Caring and Responsive.

Our Rooms

Our rooms are fully furnished but we can make space for small items of personal furniture and we are happy to collect these in advance of admission (within our locality) so that a new resident feels at home as soon as they arrive. Residents can move rooms within the home if a preferred room becomes available. Visitors are welcome at any time and they can dine with residents if they wish and there is no charge for this.

Our Dining

We provide for each resident’s nutritional needs because we know that good nutrition is vital for maintaining health and wellbeing. Residents can have their meals in their rooms if they wish or they can come to the dining room. We offer choices at every meal, lunch being the main meal of the d. Residents can have a snack or drink at any time of the day or night.

Activities

Trips out are curtailed at present due to the pandemic but our activities team is working doubly hard to arrange daily entertainment and activities in the home. The activities team also help with visits and appointments and any other contact with family and friends.

Mother had the good fortune to live her final 18 months surrounded by all of you amazing people. The compassion and care you showed her were amazing. We can't thank you enough and will never forget the 1st class care you provided for her during these difficult times

I viewed a number of homes before deciding on Stainsbridge House. The deciding factor was that I was able to observe the interaction with staff and the people who live there; They were not residents - they were residing in their own home. Staff were observed to be treating everyone as individuals. As a family we were given the opportunity to personalize Mum’s room to make it feel more like her home from home. Assistance was provided by the Handy Person in helping to put up mirrors, pictures & shelves. The pandemic happened in March 2020 and staff helped to facilitate telephone calls, video calls and suggested we send in laminated photos of our family so the staff members could talk to her about us. We were impressed with the clear communication provided by the staff and their ability to support Mum when we were unable to be with her. The care Mum received was of the highest level. She was treated with dignity and respect at all times. Staff ensured all the support services were engaged from SALT, GP, COMMUNTY NURSES and many more. Staff retention is good and I feel this is essential when supporting people with Dementia. I have been impressed with all staff members who have the quality of "nothing is too much trouble" This is all of the staff team at Stainsbridge House.
