Grassington House
Grassington House is an established family run Care Home. We provide personalised care tailored to the needs of our residents. We provide a relaxed social setting, with daily activities, a choice of home cooked meals and refreshments throughout the day.
Each week we visit our beautiful County market town, whether it be shopping, perusing the local market, going for a coffee or even a swift half! We want out residents to truly feel part of the local community.

We are registered to provide residential care to 13 residents. Our excellent level of care is tailored specifically to the needs of every individual. Residents are treated like members of the family.
We work with our residents to plan appropriate care packages to maintain the highest level of independence, choice and control. Our person-centred approach encourages confidence, positive self-esteem, respect and dignity.
Our location is in a central, yet residential, area of the historic county town of Dorchester.
The home is conveniently situated within a short and level walk to the pedestrianised shopping area, cinemas, restaurants, and local gardens. Grassington House also has its own minibus for trips to local places of interest.

Our small and friendly team of care staff are more like our extended family at Grassington House. We and the Residents here really get to know the staff. Our staff are trained regularly to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and information to work with residents and visitors alike.
My stepmother has been a resident of Grassington House for almost 18 months and we are delighted with the high standard of care and friendliness of the staff. A lovely place and we are all very happy with it.
Grassington House is a wonderful example of how a care-home can provide a well organised and professional service within a family atmosphere. The staff really care about the health and comfort of their residents and work very hard to ensure a stimulating programme. Continually engaging with people in their twilight years, is a very challenging and exhausting process but the staff at Grassington House manage to do it with tremendous good humour.
We are very pleased with the care and attention my stepmother is receiving at Grassington House. The atmosphere there and friendliness of the staff is simply the best. Knowing she is happy and content and well looked after, gives the whole family peace of mind. Thank you all so much.
Warm, friendly, approachable staff. Accommodating and responsive, particularly for a resident whose needs are a little outside the 'norm'. The staff always have time to discuss concerns and genuinely care for the residents. A relaxed friendly atmosphere, that is not clinical or institutionalized.
