Seahorses

Seahorses, situated in the Wiltshire village of Chiseldon, is six miles from the historic market town of Marlborough and close to Swindon, one of the county’s largest towns. Road connections to both centres are good. Although residents can enjoy beautiful views of the Marlborough Downs and Liddington Castle, dementia care is provided in a secluded environment, ensuring our guests experience the privacy and peace and quiet they value.

For older people in need of dementia care, Seahorses feels more like a home-from-home than any large and impersonal institution can offer. We know for example, that colour has an important role to play for those suffering with dementia. For that reason, each our twenty rooms has its own distinctively-coloured door painted in shades of different colours (red, blue, yellow, green etc.) And by displaying murals of shop fronts and a library, our corridors may perhaps stir a long-lost memory or two? Each room interior is reminiscent of apartment-style living.

If required, residents can experience music therapy, providing further intellectual stimulation. As well as the bright and spacious dining room—which overlooks the main gardens—residents also have access to a delightful indoor garden. (Almost every room has a garden view.)

Seahorses provides the support and supervision needed to help maximise physical, intellectual, emotional and social capacity, enabling residents to enhance their quality of life within a safe, manageable and comfortable environment.
