Hampden House is a 66-bed, purpose-built nursing home set within the prestigious Duchy Estate. Hampden House offers a full range of care services including personal and nursing care, short stays, and end-of-life care – all delivered to the highest standard.
At the heart of Hampden's ethos is a commitment to exceptional care for the individual, where quality of life is as important as the quality of care. Wherever possible, residents are supported to live life on their own terms. Individual care plans are developed in partnership with each resident and, where appropriate, their family members, ensuring truly personalised care.
A dedicated, multi-disciplinary team is available around the clock, using the latest equipment and best-in-class staffing ratios to ensure both safety and comfort. It’s this level of attention that allows staff to take the time for a chat, a walk in the grounds, or simply to share a cup of tea.
Hampden House is proud to introduce a brand new community, the Blenheim Memory Suite – a new, purpose-designed care community within the home. This specialist environment supports individuals living with dementia and memory-related conditions, offering tailored care in a safe, supportive setting.
Hampden's trained staff deliver compassionate care alongside therapeutic activities and cognitive stimulation programmes, helping maintain independence, promote wellbeing, and encourage social connection.
For all residents, Hampden House provides not just care—but comfort, dignity, and a true sense of home.

I stayed in Hampden House for a few weeks care 5 years ago. At that time it was buzzing with lively and fairly able residents. I came back here in November 2017 (hopefully temporarily) for rehabilitation after breaking my shoulder. There is still a very caring, cheerful and helpful staff. The food is excellent and the building comfortable and pleasant. However, at the present time the building seems to have moved closer to a convalescent hospital situation. There are many more bedfast residents and many confined to their rooms or wheelchairs.
A very comfortable home with excellent care staff and various activities provided if required, such as exercise classes, painting and flower arranging classes as well as entertainment. The food is very acceptable, good, plain, food, laundry is provided daily and returned the same day.

My husband was moved from the hospice and I chose Hampden House having visited several homes. The room was pleasant clean and light with handy en-suite. However he was soon bed bound. Initially the care was indifferent some care workers, bank nurses lacking technical and real experience and he never complained. However after sharing our worries we were rewarded with very good competent nurses and carers. Sadly he died as he had a brain tumour, but he had been cared for by kind caring loving people.
