Grassington House

Grassington House Care Home Ltd is a CQC-registered, family-run care home in the heart of Dorchester, Dorset, providing compassionate 24-hour residential care for older people with a range of support needs. Set within a charming Victorian property, our newly refurbished care home combines high-quality personalised care with a comfortable, homely atmosphere where residents are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness.

We offer 13 attractively furnished bedrooms, each featuring either an en-suite WC or convenient access to nearby bathroom facilities. Some ground-floor rooms also benefit from direct access to our attractive garden with patio seating, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors with ease. Inside, residents have a choice of lounges in our beautifully renovated home, whether sitting in the bright conservatory, socialising in the dining room, or enjoying the company of friends, family, and staff in welcoming communal areas.

Located in a peaceful residential area close to Dorchester town centre, Grassington House enables residents to remain connected to the local community. We regularly enjoy outings to the county town’s shops, markets, cafés, gardens, and local attractions, helping residents maintain independence and continue enjoying the activities they love. Our dedicated minibus also provides opportunities for trips to places of interest throughout Dorset.

Life at Grassington House is centred around wellbeing, companionship, and meaningful engagement. We provide a varied programme of daily activities, alongside bespoke experiences tailored to individual interests. Thanks to our smaller size, we can offer personalised activities such as boat trips, cycling experiences, and wine and cheese tasting events, ensuring every resident enjoys a fulfilling and enjoyable lifestyle.

Good food is at the heart of our home. We take pride in serving delicious home-cooked meals and traditional puddings prepared using fresh ingredients. Menus are carefully planned around dietary requirements, cultural considerations, and personal preferences, with a range of nutritious choices available every day.
