A warm welcome to our home
Located in the heart of Salisbury, Bemerton Lodge offers compassionate individualised respite, residential and dementia care for up to 55 residents in a relaxing, friendly and comfortable environment.
Thoughtful spaces, meaningful living
Bemerton Lodge offers residents a real home from home in a calm and friendly environment. Spacious bedrooms look out onto our peaceful and beautifully tended gardens with raised planters, vegetable patches and water features, whilst comfortable lounges and friendly dining areas ensure residents can relax and enjoy all the usual home comforts. Residents can take a seat on one of the homes patios or stroll through the colourful flower beds. Our lovely landscaped gardens are there to enjoy throughout the year.
Charming spaces, familiar comforts
Set in its own attractive and mature gardens Bemerton Lodge offers a warm and homely atmosphere. The home also has a tea room, lounge and bar which offer opportunities to entertain friends and socialise, as well as join in with the activities organised by our Activities Co-ordinators.
Room to relax, space to be you
The rooms at Bemerton Lodge are a personal haven for each of the residents. Each room offers a private bed-sitting room, an emergency 24 hour call system, personalised care and plenty of space to personalise your room.

Daughter of Resident, Bemerton Lodge
Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at Bemerton Lodge. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships.
A daily activity schedule for a home may include:
- Trips to garden centres, cafés, pubs, sporting events, National Trust parks, wildlife parks, aquariums and museums.
- Visit from Pets as Therapy Dogs
- Exercise and wellness activities, for example Seated Yoga, Zumba
- Fun activities with the local toddler and nursery group
- Board game competitions and quizzes
- Music therapy sessions
- Gardening
- Arts and crafts
- Communal Church services
And that’s not all:
We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more. Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound.
Each resident receives one-to-one time with the Activities Co-ordinators and together they will work on their own personal activity plan and goals.
A talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home cooked meals. The freshly prepared, delicious dishes are carefully balanced to get the best nutritional value and cater for individual dietary requirements and preferences. Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join.
The menus change daily, and the kettle is always on, so hot drinks are available throughout the day.
