A warm welcome to our home
Hayward Care Centre, named after a local WW1 veteran, Reginald Hayward VC is located on the outskirts of the Wiltshire town of Devizes. The home offers compassionate, individualised residential, dementia and respite care for up to 80 residents.
- Dementia Care
- Residential Care
- Respite Care
The purpose-built home environment has been specifically designed to support the needs of older people including those with dementia, from aiding memory in day-to-day living and reminiscence therapy, to reinforcing personal identity and navigating around the home.
The home has been designed in smaller households, to help maintain independence and dignity. All of the spacious furnished bedrooms have en suite facilities, with "wet room" bathrooms. We encourage the personalisation of residents’ bedrooms, with treasured belongings, pictures and memories.
Residents can enjoy the privacy of their own room or socialise with family and friends in one of the open plan living areas or smaller comfortable lounges on all three floors of the home. We even have our own pub bar decorated by local brewery, Wadworth.
Residents can enjoy the daily social activities going on in the central communal areas with the hairdressing salon open during the week. The resident’s pub, decorated by our local brewery is a perfect space for meeting friends and family or in good weather, residents regularly take advantage of the beautiful and accessible landscaped gardens, with seating areas and raised planters.

Food
The talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals on site daily from our own kitchens. We source quality produce for our excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. All-day dining is available for lighter meals and snacks and all 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 us. The menus change daily, and the kettle is always on. Our chef bakes every day so there is always a fresh cake to enjoy.
Each of the household has their own small kitchen dining room where residents can take their meals if they wish. Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food and to make snacks whenever they choose.
