You can live in a Swindon care home if you:
- are over 18
- live in Swindon
- are eligible for help with your care
To understand if you’re eligible for help with care, we first need to assess your care needs.
After your assessment
After your assessment, we may agree that a care home is the best place for you to live. If so, we can advise you of all the homes in Swindon that have vacancies and may be able to meet your needs.
You can browse a directory of care homes in Swindon. Each entry includes key information about the accommodation and a link to the latest inspection by the Care Quality Commission.
Cost
The cost varies depending on the type of facilities and the amount and type of care you need. For example, some homes have staff who are qualified nurses, which means that the cost of living there is higher than in a home that offers care without nursing.
