About Fairfax House
Fairfax House provides residential, dementia, respite and end-of-life care in a small independent home where residents have a voice in daily life. People can influence communal spaces, menus and activities, while rooms can be decorated with personal furniture and belongings.
The home builds care plans around individual routines, from preferred waking times and breakfast choices to personal support and medication management. Its dementia service includes specialist dementia champions, and residents can move between indoor areas, patios and gardens in a secure environment. Respite stays range from one week to several months, making the home relevant both to people considering a permanent move and to carers needing a planned break. Respite care from a week to several months is available.

Questions families ask
How long can respite care last?
It can last from one week to several months, for people not ready for a permanent move, during home renovations or when carers need a break.
Can residents bring their own furniture and choose their room layout?
Yes. Residents can choose how to decorate their room, bring their own furniture and decide how they want the space laid out.
How is care tailored before moving in?
They spend time learning each person's preferred routine before moving in, then create a tailored care plan covering details such as waking time, breakfast and bedtime preferences.
Can residents choose which activities to join?
Yes. They can take part in the activities programme as much or as little as they wish, and the independent home can adapt activities when circumstances change.
Do they specialise in dementia care?
Yes. They specialise in caring for people with dementia, with Dementia champions sharing specialist knowledge and skills across the team.
How much does Fairfax House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fairfax 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.
