About Fairfield House Residential Care Home
Residential and dementia care at Fairfield House supports older people needing a permanent home, short stay or daytime support. The home also offers respite and holiday care, including support following illness or surgery.
A converted early Victorian mansion sits on a hillside overlooking Lyme Bay, with period features, conservatories and landscaped gardens. Three self-contained assisted living cottages offer privacy and autonomy while keeping support available when needed. Meals are varied and nutritious, with resident choices and local seasonal produce considered where possible. Fairfield House brings several care pathways together in a peaceful Lyme Regis setting, helping families compare the level of support that fits their circumstances.

How much does Fairfield House Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fairfield House Residential Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,254 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.
