Local knowledge across Swindon

Swindon is one of the largest towns in the South West, a busy railway town on the edge of the Wiltshire countryside with well over two hundred thousand residents. Its communities are varied, from the historic streets and independent shops of Old Town, through established neighbourhoods such as Stratton, Covingham, Gorse Hill and Rodbourne, out to the newer estates of West Swindon and Abbey Meads and the surrounding villages of Wroughton, Chiseldon and Highworth. Care needs differ across the town, from the terraced streets near the old railway works to the leafier lanes towards the Ridgeway, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

Local landmarks are part of daily life for the people we support, whether that is a walk around Coate Water or Lydiard Park, a trip to the STEAM railway museum or the Designer Outlet in the old railway works, or simply crossing the town's famous Magic Roundabout on the way to an appointment. We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Great Western Hospital off Marlborough Road, part of Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which serves the town and much of the surrounding area. 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 Swindon Borough Council. 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.

Staffing for care providers in Swindon

We supply NMC-registered nurses and midwives, support workers, mental health professionals and learning disability specialists, from a single shift to a fully managed rota and permanent placements.
