Questions families ask
Does the care home offer respite and day care?
Yes. They provide residential, day and respite care, including 24-hour care for people living with dementia.
Who is respite care suitable for?
It is suitable for people usually cared for by a relative or carer at home, and for people needing convalescence care after leaving hospital.
What can respite care include?
They tailor respite care to individual needs and may provide round-the-clock care, therapeutic day care, rehabilitation, physiotherapy and special dietary provision.
How much does Downs View Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Downs View Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, Swindon council paid on average £999 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.
