Overview

Buxton House is a modern Care South home for residential and dementia care in the heart of the Weymouth community. We are warmly welcoming new residents and inviting families and friends to share in the Food, Fun and Friendship on offer in this friendly Weymouth care home.

Buxton House has 64 welcoming, fully furnished rooms, each with en-suite WC and shower and a 24-hour call bell, ensuring residents are comfortable, safe and expertly cared for. We give all residents support and peace of mind and we pride ourselves on doing everything possible to enhance residents’ quality of life.

In order to create a homely feel for residents, our Weymouth care home is divided into four wings, each with a spacious lounge/diner and kitchen area. The home has been carefully designed to support residents living with dementia, helping them to socialise and engage with their new home.

Our outdoor courtyard, fish pond and fully-secure landscaped garden create a sense of peace and tranquillity for residents and provide the perfect place to relax with a cup of tea and a slice of cake, or socialise with friends and loved ones. Residents also have full use of our on-site café and hair salon.

We strive to enable residents to continue to do what they love, whether that’s coffee with friends or enjoying activities with visiting loved ones. Nothing is too much trouble for us when it comes to the care and comfort of residents and we always go the extra mile to help residents maintain their lifestyle and independence.

Buxton House is situated in the sunny seaside town of Weymouth, with great local amenities, sandy beaches, a pretty harbour and the spectacular Jurassic Coastline, all of which make this area an amazing place to live and residents can take advantage of day trips to local points of interest.

We understand that looking for a care home can be a difficult and daunting process, but we want you to know that you are not alone. Please feel free to give us a call or fill out an enquiry form and we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have, provide you with support throughout the process, or simply give you a better idea of life at Buxton House.
