Questions families ask
Do they support older people with mental health or physical disabilities?
Yes. They support people aged 65 and over with mental health conditions, physical disabilities and sensory impairments.
How many people can the care home accommodate?
The care home accommodates up to 60 individuals and provides personalised, 24-hour care tailored to their needs.
What accommodation options are available?
Residents can choose comfortable en-suite rooms or spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments.
How much does The Fairways cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Fairways 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.
