How we help

Some of the ways we can help you and
your loved ones

Respite

A short stay to give family carers a break, or to support recovery after illness or hospital. Safe, comfortable care with the option to extend if needed.

Long Term

Ongoing, person-centred support in a place that feels like home. Help with daily living, medication, meals, and wellbeing - with dignity and routine.

Hospice

Compassionate end-of-life care focused on comfort, peace, and choice. We support residents and families with sensitive, respectful care and symptom management.

Dementia

Specialist support in a calm, familiar environment. We focus on safety, reassurance, meaningful routines, and maintaining independence wherever possible.

Physical disabilities

Practical, tailored assistance to support mobility, comfort, and confidence. We adapt care around the individual - promoting choice and independence every day.

Sensory impairments

Support for residents with hearing or sight loss, with clear communication and a supportive environment. Helping your loved one feel confident, connected, and understood.

Day care / Visiting support

Flexible daytime care with companionship, activities, and support - while still living at home. A great option for social connection and a gentle introduction to care.

Mental health conditions

Supportive, person-centred care for residents living with mental health needs. We provide a calm environment, consistent routines, and compassionate support to promote safety, comfort, and wellbeing.

Will it be easy for friends and family to get to the home?

There is a regular bus route, which runs from nearby Charminster Road, and this is a five-minute walk from the home

Is there somewhere to sit outside?

Yes — we have lovely gardens and outdoor areas with plenty of seating for residents and visitors. Our outdoor spaces are designed to be calm, safe, and enjoyable, whether you’d like a quiet chat, a bit of fresh air, or to spend time together surrounded by greenery. In warmer months, the gardens are a favourite place for residents to relax, enjoy the sunshine, and take part in gentle activities. Staff can also support residents who need a little help getting outside comfortably and safely.

Who will be involved in making decisions about a resident’s care?

Decisions about care are made together, as a team. The resident is always at the centre of this, and we involve family members or loved ones (where the resident wants this), along with our care team and any relevant healthcare professionals.

Before care begins, we complete an assessment and create a personalised care plan based on individual needs, preferences, routines, and medical requirements. We then review this plan regularly — and anytime needs change — so everyone stays informed and confident that the right support is in place.

Is there help available at night?

Yes. Our team is on hand 24/7, including overnight, to provide reassurance, support, and assistance whenever it’s needed.

Can residents keep their GP and healthcare providers?

Where possible, yes. We can support residents to continue with their preferred GP and services, or help register locally if that’s more practical. We also work closely with community nurses and other professionals.

Do you offer activities and social time?

Yes – we encourage a friendly, active atmosphere with a range of activities and opportunities to socialise. Residents can join in as much or as little as they like, always based on their interests and energy levels.
