Local knowledge across Chippenham

Chippenham is a historic market town on the River Avon in north Wiltshire, home to the medieval timber framed Yelde Hall beside the Market Place and a busy town centre that still serves the surrounding villages. The town has grown well beyond its old core, and care needs differ from one neighbourhood to the next, from the established streets around Monkton Park and Lowden to the newer estates at Pewsham, Cepen Park and Hardenhuish. Whether a family is in an SN15 postcode close to the centre or out towards the SN14 villages, we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Chippenham Community Hospital on Rowden Hill, which is run by Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust and provides inpatient beds and a minor injuries unit, as well as after treatment at the larger Royal United Hospital in Bath. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Wiltshire Council, the unitary authority for the area. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
