At Old Sarum Manor Care Home in Salisbury, our residential care combines comfort, independence and reassurance. Residents enjoy elegant surroundings, exceptional hospitality and a friendly community, with professional support always available when needed.
Every resident has a personalised care plan based on their own preferences, helping them to live well and feel at home. With spacious en suite rooms, landscaped gardens and a varied daily activity programme, Old Sarum Manor offers the perfect balance of independence, comfort and care.
Our dementia care supports people living with dementia, Alzheimer’s and memory loss in a safe, calm and welcoming environment. The home’s thoughtful layout, clear signage and secure gardens help residents maintain independence and confidence, while our compassionate team provides care with patience and dignity.
Our members of staff receive dementia training, ensuring each resident is understood, valued and supported in the way that suits them best. Through reminiscence sessions, sensory activities and gentle routines, we help residents enjoy meaningful moments every day.
Our respite care offers short-term stays for those recovering from illness, following a hospital stay, or simply needing extra support for a few weeks. Guests enjoy the same high standards of personalised care, hospitality and comfort as our long-term residents.
It’s also an ideal option for carers who need a well-earned break, safe in the knowledge that their loved one is being cared for with warmth, dignity and professionalism. With delicious dining, daily activities and access to all our facilities, a stay at Old Sarum Manor offers genuine rest, recovery and renewal.
While Old Sarum Manor does not provide 24-hour nursing care, we work closely with Wiltshire and Gloucestershire community nursing teams to ensure residents receive the right level of medical support when needed.
These trusted professionals assist with diabetes management, catheter and stoma care, and assessments for specialised equipment — all helping to enhance comfort, independence and quality of life within our home.
At Old Sarum Manor, mealtimes are about more than great food — they’re a chance to come together, share stories and enjoy one another’s company. With themed dinners, pop-up restaurants and the option to invite loved ones to join in, there’s always something special to enjoy.
Our activity programme is designed around our residents, helping everyone stay active, engaged and fulfilled. Whether it’s gardening, gentle exercise, or an afternoon trip to the races, there’s always something to lift the spirits.

Hi there, I’m Mike. I started working in the care industry as a care assistant, working with vulnerable adults and supporting them to maximise their quality of life. I am passionate and dedicated to the promotion of resident independence and self autonomy where possible. I have managed care homes for over 20 years. I continue to serve the vulnerable by shaping teams and environments where people thrive. I have developed my skills and experience helping people with Brain Injuries, Learning Difficulties, those experiencing life changing injuries, and the care of the elderly. Learning and development is essential to ensure the team demonstrate adaptability and resilience in an ever changing world. We offer care for people on their dementia journey, and those wishing to receive additional support in their every day lives. We offer respite and permanent care, lets chat. I look forward to meeting you, and welcome you to old Sarum Manor, a place a care and quality.
