Greensleeves Homes Trust
Greensleeves Care is a charitable care provider with a proud legacy stretching back to the post-WWII era, when the Women’s Voluntary Service founded homes to offer older people dignity, safety and community. That spirit of care still guides the charity today — including at Kingston House, Greensleeves’ residential and dementia care home in Calne.
One of the longest-standing care homes in the area, Kingston House is the number one not-for-profit care home in Calne — according to residents and families on trusted platform carehome.co.uk. The home is a purpose-built space that provides award-winning residential, dementia, and respite care with a ‘home from home feel’.
While Kingston House welcomes new community members with residential care needs, the home is best known locally for its dementia care. The team of highly-trained staff at Kingston House ensure residents living with dementia receive compassionate and effective care — focusing on supporting them and their loved ones as their condition progresses.
Situated within its own grounds in Derry Hill, near both Calne and Chippenham, Kingston House offers the perfect mix of a relaxing rural position and nearby amenities. This location enables residents to access the local community; outings to the renowned Bowood House, local pubs and garden centres are all easily reached on the regularly arranged trips.
“I like to think that every day I make residents smile. It’s important for me that they are having fun every day, and that they are having the one-on-one care that they deserve. Many a time we do belly laugh here!” Says activities assistant Donna Hurst.
“Sometimes families can feel a bit guilty about having a relative in a care home. When you can evidence to a resident’s loved one that you’ve made a difference to a resident’s life, the feeling that you get is a one in a million.”
Greensleeves Care homes consistently achieve top ratings from regulators, families and professionals. In the group’s latest Customer Experience Survey, 94% of residents said they were happy with their care.
A home for life at Kingston House
Greensleeves Care’s promise is simple: to help people feel good about care – whether they’re moving in, visiting a loved one, or starting their career in one of the homes in the Greensleeves family.
Along with its charitable approach, the organisation delivers on this promise through its unique Home for Life funding assurance whereby if a resident outlives their funds while in care, they’ll never be asked to leave. This commitment reflects the charity’s belief that good care should never come with fear or uncertainty.
Exploring care in Calne this summer
Data from Greensleeves Care shows that 1 in 4 adults make care decisions in crisis mode. This is why the group is encouraging people to learn about care before it becomes a necessity through its Get Care Wise campaign. As part of this, Kingston House is welcoming visitors for events, short stays or simply a chat about options.
