About Us

Our brand new care home in Charlton Down near Dorchester provides a warm welcome as soon as you set foot through the door. Specialising in residential care, dementia care, and respite care, Selwood House is home for up to eighty-four people.

Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to facilitate a range of daily meaningful activities. There is always plenty going on from a visit to the on-site pub, cinema or hair and beauty salon.
