Lansdowne Hill Care Home
Discover bespoke residential care from a highly trained care team in our welcoming care home.
Lansdowne Hill Care Home is a residential care home set in the beautiful Wiltshire village of Wroughton, four miles south of Swindon.
We provide outstanding residential, dementia, respite and convalescent care. We are situated in Wroughton village on the suburbs of Swindon. Local amenities such as doctors, dentist, various shops, a library, pubs and hotels are all on our doorstep.
Our comfortable, spacious lounges overlook our beautiful gardens, and a secluded courtyard area – all of which are accessible. A special feature of our garden is our traditional dovecote. It houses several beautiful doves, which our residents are very fond of. As well as caring for you we care about your families too.
Our door is always open for a chat, and our residents’ and families’ forum gives you a way to support each other. Plus, your family members are welcome in at any time, for a cuppa, or to join us for a meal.
Social activities
We place great emphasis on social activities and maintaining the type of life you have had at home, whether that is a quiet and relaxed lifestyle or an active lifestyle.
Enjoy an evening of entertainment with fabulous musicians followed by some drinks and snacks at our very own licensed bar.
We have weekly trips out to the coast, garden centres, pub lunches, museums and local beauty spots.
We sometimes have mobile clothing shops come to our home which we love as it makes shopping much more relaxed. It allows you to take as much time as you need; you might even pick up some hidden gems.
Dining
At Lansdowne Care Home you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sourced wherever possible. Meals are served in our superb dining room, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Nutrition is an important part of the care we provide. That’s why our catering team take time to get to know your likes and dislikes before putting together a vibrant and varied menu for you to choose from.

My mother has been a resident at Lansdowne Hill Care Home since Dec 2022. There is a wonderful manager there who is very proactive, caring and professional. The staff are caring and know my mother really well. She always tells me how well cared for she is and I often observe the staff having chats with her. I’ve been ill recently and the staff went out of their way to put on a surprise afternoon tea for us. We are all part of one family.

Every carer has a kind and empathetic nature towards Mum. Every person who works for Lansdowne Hill looks out for and really cares for the residents, from office staff to the chefs to the people who clean the rooms and help in the kitchen etc. They all try to get Mum to join in with the activities to alleviate the boredom that Mum’s dementia leans towards. As a daughter, I am always greeted and spoken to, even when they are all rushed off their feet. The entertainment people try their best to keep people occupied even in the most trying of circumstances. Best of all Mum is happy as she could be.

My Mum moved to Lansdowne Hill Care Home in 2020, shortly after the first lockdown. The team at Lansdowne have been exceptional at making her comfortable and meeting her needs, despite all of the difficulties of the pandemic. Being able to visit Mum and sit outside in the garden during the summer of 2020 and 2021 was lovely, and my Mum finds watching the doves captivating. The staff went out of their way to facilitate indoor visits as soon as government guidance allowed through the use of a dedicated lounge. My Mum enjoys the social side of things at Lansdowne, being with other residents that she recognises, and she thinks of the staff as friends.

That means no additional charges or hidden fees, just consistent, all-inclusive support for a weekly fee.
Prior to your move in to our home, you’ll receive a free no obligation care assessment so we can understand your care needs and create a care plan that suits you best. Your family is welcome to join this process. This allows us to create a bespoke care package that allows you to have the best quality of life.
Plus, through our portal, you and your loved ones can easily check on your care with real-time updates on medication, nutrition, welfare, and more. Read notes from our care teams and keep tabs on the care you receive—all at the click of a button.
Funding may be available from your local authority. Firstly, they will check how much help and what kind of care you need: this is the needs assessment. Following on from that, the free financial assessment calculates the total cost of care and how much you’ll need to contribute.
If you don’t want a financial assessment you can choose to pay for your care home yourself – this is called self-funding.
