My father was resident from December 2024 until now when he died. He was well looked after. The home care improved significantly after Clare was appointed. Sometimes staffing levels were not as good as they could be. Overall we were happy with the care he received. Food was good, home well appointed. Staff very caring, sometimes under time pressure. I would like to mention Aileen, David and Lottie, who were especially good.

All of the residents are adorable and they're extremely fortunate to have such an amazing team to care for them and keep them entertained. As a result of this outstan... read more

Mum has taken a little while to settle in to her new home and , as with any new situation, there have been one or two bumps in the road. However, all the staff are keen to provide a warm, caring environment for the residents and any issues or queries are dealt with promptly. Whenever I pop in to see Mum I am always greeted warmly and it is lovely to see how kind and cheerful the staff are in their interactions with her. I can honestly say that it is a pleasure to visit Mum here as there is such a welcoming atmosphere. She ha... read more

I absolutely love this care home in Dorset. It feels modern, safe, clean and peaceful. The grounds are beautiful and the home always feels so welcoming and well presented. It has a sense of home and a happy, bright place to be thanks to the staff who are always so friendly, kind and caring. Exactly the kind of place you want to be cared for when needed, it certainly gives me peace of mind that my relative is being well cared for. The staff always go above and beyond to make us feel welcomed to visit and put some lovely event... read more
