Transforming Bathrooms, Enhancing Lives
At Grassington House, we are proud to be an established family-run Care Home, providing high-quality care in a homely atmosphere. Our philosophy is simple: we believe that every individual deserves to feel part of a community, and we strive to create an environment that is warm, welcoming, and tailored to the needs of each of our residents.
Our Care
We are registered to provide residential care to 13 residents, and our excellent level of care is tailored specifically to the needs of every individual. Residents are treated like members of the family, and we work closely with them to plan appropriate care packages that maintain the highest level of independence, choice, and control. Our person-centred approach encourages confidence, positive self-esteem, respect, and dignity.
Our Location
Our location in the historic county town of Dorchester is conveniently situated within a short and level walk to the pedestrianised shopping area, cinemas, restaurants, and local gardens. We also have our own minibus for trips to local places of interest, ensuring that our residents can stay connected with the community and enjoy new experiences.
Our Activities
At Grassington House, we take pride in our interesting, person-centred, and varied activities provision. We actively seek advice and guidance from our residents to offer something for everyone to enjoy. From boat trips to wine and cheese tasting events, movie evenings, and quizzes, we strive to cater to the diverse interests of our residents.
Our Accommodation
Step foot inside our residential care home, and you will see that we care for much more than just people's needs - we care about creating a home for our residents to enjoy. Our beautiful country garden blooms with flowers throughout the Spring and Summer, and our residents can relax in our homely lounge or in the light and bright conservatory. We offer 13 beautifully refurbished bedrooms with either en-suite WCs or easily accessible WC facilities.
Our Meals
The kitchen is at the heart of any good home, and Grassington House is no exception. We are proud of our home-cooked meals and puddings, and we cater to the individual tastes and dietary needs of our residents. From breakfast to supper, we offer a range of delicious options, accompanied by drinks and snacks throughout the day.
Behind the Home
Our dedicated team of carers, led by our Registered Manager Louise, work tirelessly to ensure that our residents receive the highest level of care. Our Proprietors and Directors, Megan and Marc, oversee the smooth operation of the home, ensuring that every resident feels part of the family.
