Anning House

Welcome to Anning House

Anning House is a calm and welcoming care home in the seaside town of Weymouth. Our dedicated care team provide high-quality nursing, dementia and residential care on a permanent and respite basis. We also offer kind and compassionate end of life care.

Our modern care home provides luxury in every area, from our stylish lounges, café, cinema room, bar and hair and beauty salon. There are a range of tastefully decorated ensuite bedrooms, many of which have open views onto the seafront or our beautifully landscaped gardens.

Located in the historic part of this charming Dorset seaside town, our location means residents can access many nearby amenities and there are excellent connections to the road and rail network. We provide a varied activity programme and our minibus outings to local areas of interest are a hit with residents.

We pride ourselves on the transparency of our care quality and fee information - ensuring you can trust us to care from that very first step.

The home is owned by WT UK Opco 4 Limited and is managed and staffed by Care UK.

What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Anning House care home.

The staff get to know the residents as individuals, and not just the care staff but the cleaning staff, the catering staff too... it's a community. They address residents by their names and always have close contact with them… they treat residents with respect, as if they were their own family.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

My relative has specific needs and the care team are marvelous... they are very attentive to his needs, not only relating to his perosnal care, but also to his dietary requirements and his ability to participate in activities. I receive a weekly email from the home telling me about the events happening that week... they always have something going on, such as bringing in animals, singers, playing games.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

Compared to other care homes we visited it is like a hotel. It just doesn't look like a typical care institution, more like someone's home, with nice furnishings, lighting and decor... it's a very welcoming environment. The staff are excellent and they take very good care of my loved one. It is one to one care.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The home is purpose built and has qualified nursing staff on site. In general the care staff are empathetic and very dedicated. The meals are excellent in terms of presentation and how the residents are served them.

Relative of a resident, August 2023

The home is very comfortable, modern and warm. The food is more than satisfactory and it has a nice outside area as well as a nice area for residents to meet.
