Meet The Manager
Catherine Beswick is Acting Home Manager at Kingston House.
Hello, my name is Catherine Beswick and I am privileged to be an Acting Home Manager at Kingston House, a place where the philosophy is simple and linked to the Eden Alternative principles. Together with my dedicated and caring team, we aim to provide a person-centred care. This means that we keep the residents at the centre of all decisions because that is the right thing to do.
Kingston House care home in Calne, Wiltshire is a beautiful residential care home. The home provides exceptional residential care and dementia care to the older people of Bath, Chippenham, Marlborough, Swindon and the wider Wiltshire area. The residents in Kingston House enjoy a really positive lifestyle. They are benefiting from the carefully designed purpose built care home and the kind and a highly skilled management team which is leading a compassionate care team.
The care home is divided across two separate and self-contained areas. One area delivering truly person-centred residential care and the other specialist dementia care. The healthcare professionals who regularly visit Kingston House rate the home highly. A number of our current residents have been recommended by GPs, District Nurses and other NHS specialists.
