Fine dining experiences, beautiful gardens and a genuine sense of community are all part of living here. One simple fee covers everything from salon appointments to outings in our dedicated transport, so you can focus entirely on settling in and making the most of your time here. Blenheim House offers residential, dementia, respite and palliative care.

Services at Blenheim House

Residential care

Residential care is for people who need help with day-to-day tasks like getting dressed, moving around and cooking dinner. It’s also for those suffering from isolation and loneliness who could benefit from being part of a community. Live life independently with the reassurance that our care team is here if you need us. And if you don’t need us, we’re still here for a chat and a cup of tea.

Dementia care

Dementia affects everyone differently, so our approach is person-centred. We see beyond the diagnosis to recognise each person’s identity and life history. Our staff undergo specialised training to understand unique needs. From art therapy to gardening, we offer meaningful activities that improve wellbeing in safe, stimulating environments designed for comfort.

Respite care

Perfect for primary carers who need peace of mind while away, or those recovering from hospital stays. Respite care provides all the benefits our permanent residents receive – from activities to meals – but on a short-term basis. Whether it’s days, weeks or months, you can relax knowing you’re in safe hands.

Community living that feels truly welcoming

Community life is central at Blenheim House. State-of-the-art facilities certainly matter, but it is the social connections that make a real difference. Conversations over morning coffee, shared interests, new friendships formed over activities, all of it creates a natural antidote to the isolation that many people fear. Everyone is encouraged to be themselves while being part of something much bigger. Living somewhere genuinely warm and welcoming, with incredible luxury touches throughout, means that any worries about loneliness fade away completely.

As well as being part of a community, people thrive at Berkley because we recognise and celebrate them as the remarkable individuals they are. If it matters to them, it matters to us. This is how we reimagine care every day.

Your care

Care that works around what matters to you, not the other way around. We talk with residents and families to understand exactly what support each person needs, then fit that around their interests, routines and preferences. Some people need minimal help, others require more intensive support – either way, it’s designed around how you want to live your life here.

Our people

Blenheim Place works because of the people – residents, families and our team. Everyone here has fascinating stories to tell. Residents arrive with decades of experiences, skills and knowledge that make conversations genuinely interesting. When people feel comfortable sharing their stories and being themselves, that’s what creates the warm atmosphere you’ll notice the moment you walk through the door. Our staff understand that their job is helping everyone feel valued and giving them opportunities to keep growing and learning.

Careers

“Blenheim House has allowed me to be a daughter again and not a carer, and that is priceless.”

Special occasions

Birthdays, anniversaries or family gatherings – the team makes sure every celebration feels properly special. Private dining rooms for intimate meals, or larger spaces when the whole family comes together.

Getting out and about

Theatre trips, places of worship, shopping excursions or somewhere further afield – we ask residents where they’d like to go rather than deciding for them. The chauffeur handles the driving.

Screening room

Comfortable seating and big-screen entertainment for films, live sports or evening viewing. The kind of proper cinema experience that makes watching Wimbledon or your favourite classic feel like a real occasion.

Inspiring events and activities

Something different every day – our events team works with residents to plan activities that energise and stimulate. Rain or shine, there’s always something engaging happening that keeps life here varied.
