Kingston House offers high-quality residential, respite, and dementia care in a warm and welcoming environment designed to feel truly homely.
Situated in the peaceful village of Derry Hill, close to Calne and Chippenham, Kingston House is set within attractive landscaped grounds, offering residents the calm of a rural setting while remaining well connected to the local community. Regular outings to nearby attractions, garden centres, and local pubs help residents stay engaged, active, and connected to the area around them.
Bedrooms are spacious, comfortable, and fully furnished, with a choice of ensuite bathrooms or wet rooms available. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with treasured photographs, ornaments, and familiar belongings to help create a sense of comfort, independence, and familiarity.
Life at Kingston House is centred around meaningful experiences and companionship. Available is a varied programme of activities and social events which provides opportunities for residents to continue enjoying lifelong hobbies, try something new, and spend time with others in ways that suit their interests and preferences. From relaxing indoor activities to time spent outdoors in the gardens, residents are supported to enjoy each day at their own pace.
Dining is an important part of daily life within the home, and freshly made meals tailored to individual tastes, preferences, and dietary requirements are made. Regular feedback from residents and families is encouraged to help shape seasonal menus and ensure mealtimes remain enjoyable and personal.
To further support wellbeing and confidence, Kingston House also benefits from an onsite hair and beauty salon, offering residents the opportunity to relax, socialise, and enjoy a little pampering as part of everyday life.

I haven't been able to visit as often as I would like. However, when I do come the staff is so kind and helpful to us both! Mum loves the activities and gets to go out so much more. I am very happy that she moved to Kingston House.

My mother is now registered blind and I think that the whole atmosphere of calm and caring is felt by her.
The only one problem is sometimes maybe there is some 'understaffing' when things like getting her dressed are left a long time, or answering the call button (she has had to learn to wait a little bit!) One other problem is the lack of availability of getting to see the doctor; re mother's ear, very important to blind people.

My mother was treated with love and care - all aspects of her care were excellent.
My mother enjoyed the activities both within and outside the home - she enjoyed regular trips out on the minibus to coffee shops, the Memory Lane club locally etc.
Communication with family was always excellent.
I recommend Kingston House without reservation.
It is the best care home ever!

My father, who has dementia, has been a resident in Lavender Lodge for 16 months. During that time he has been well cared for both physically and emotionally. He is treated with dignity and respect. He has been encouraged to participate in a range of activities in the home as well as being taken out on trips in the minibus most weeks.
I have also found the staff approachable and willing to discuss any questions that I have concerning Dad.
Kingston House has been my mothers home for the past 4 years. She has been happy and well looked after there. There are always activities to get involved in and trips out in the minibus. The staff are always friendly and helpful. There is always good communication if there has been a problem.

I work at a primary school and have been visiting the residents of Kingston house for 4 years. We were invited to join the residents for the WW2 2014 celebrations and we have been visiting ever since. My dance club attended all the tea dances at Kingston House, the children love entertaining the old folk. The residents always join in, even if it is only waist up with actions! The residents also come to school to join in with our Harvest, Easter and Christmas celebrations as well as coming to watch our Y6 leavers' production every July. I also visit Kingston House as I have made many friends over there. Whenever I visit the residents, there is always a lovely atmosphere and I am always made welcome by the staff, there is always a cup of tea on hand. I have booked my place for when I am older!
My brother receives excellent care - he is treated with great dignity at all times. Although he has been there for a short time, I have found all staff to be very helpful and have no worries regarding his care or welfare.

In the relatively short time (8 weeks) my husband has been in Lavender House I have been impressed with the care and dignity that he has received. He has settled in well.

Mum has friends at home and enjoys spending time with other residents. She can take part in a range of activities if she wishes to. She really enjoys her food.
We have recommended this home to others. We looked at several ourselves before choosing Kingston House due to its location, standard of care, staff and generally homely and welcoming atmosphere.
Mum says she is very happy and satisfied with the care given.
Good all round care from this care home with positive communication with staff and management. I feel happy in the knowledge that mother is in the right home at this present stage of her life.

I’ve worked in care for 30+ years in a variety of settings and roles, I’ve been at Kingston House for one year and this is my first role as in activities. I love my job, and enjoy spending time with the residents getting to know them. Learning about their likes and dislikes, supporting and enabling them to do the things they enjoy. I love finding new ideas to engage residents in and improve their quality of life.
