Day Care at Grassington House
Day Care at Grassington House
A warm welcome, companionship and support in the heart of Dorchester
Not everyone needs full-time residential care. Sometimes, a little extra support, friendly company or a change of scenery can make all the difference.
At Grassington House, our Day Care Service offers a safe, welcoming environment where guests can enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, meaningful activities and genuine companionship—all while giving family carers valuable time to rest, work or attend appointments.
Whether you’re looking for regular weekly visits or occasional support, we’re here to welcome you into our family.
Book a visit today or call us on 01305 267968.

Our day care service is designed for older people who may be feeling isolated, need extra support during the day, or simply enjoy spending time with others.
Guests spend the day with us enjoying everything Grassington House has to offer before returning home later that day.
It’s a wonderful way to stay socially active while maintaining independence.
