About Dauntsey House
Dauntsey House provides long-term residential care, respite stays and day care for older people. Its service suits permanent residents, temporary guests needing support while family are away, and people recovering after a minor accident. The home is residential rather than a nursing home and works with district nurses and GPs when required.
Residents receive 24-hour care, daily activities, companionship and freshly cooked meals, with choices shown through display plates. Day care can include meals, social activities and time with residents, helping people become familiar with residential life. Dietary preferences and requirements are catered for, and visitors are welcome at any time. Day Care service is available seven days a week by arrangement.

Yes. Its day care service is available seven days a week by arrangement and can include up to three meals a day.
Can family and friends visit Dauntsey House at any time?
Yes. Visitors are welcome at any time because it is the residents' home, although avoiding mealtimes is requested where possible.
Does Dauntsey House provide full nursing care?
No. It is a residential home and cannot offer full nursing care, although residents can usually be cared for there if they become ill unless their doctor decides otherwise.

How much does Dauntsey House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dauntsey House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wiltshire council paid on average £1,089 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
