Overview of The Orchards Residential Home

The Orchards Residential Home is a care home in Swindon, Wiltshire, offering adult day care alongside residential care, memory care, nursing care, palliative care and respite care. Its range of services may suit someone whose needs change over time, because different forms of support are available within the same home. Adult day care covers daytime support without a full-time residential stay, while respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Opened in 1993, the home is operated by Buckland Care, an independent family-run business, and has 48 beds. Accommodation includes one-bed and two-bed rooms, with the two-bed option able to suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering; Nursing care provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock; Residential care offers an ongoing place to live with support in the home; and palliative care focuses on comfort for someone with serious illness.
