Fern Brook Lodge is a recently-refurbished Care South home for residential and dementia care Gillingham, north Dorset. We are warmly welcoming new residents and inviting families and friends to share in the Food, Fun and Friendship on offer at this lovely Dorset care home.

Fern Brook Lodge has been designed with resident’s comfort and ease of mind and ensures residents can live a supported yet independent lifestyle. This modern north Dorset care home has floors that cater for specialist care requirements and additional features have been added to assist residents living with dementia.

Fern Brook Lodge has 75 welcoming, fully furnished rooms, each with an en-suite wet room containing w/c, washbasin and shower. Each room also has a 24-hour call bell, ensuring residents are comfortable, safe and expertly cared for. We give all residents support and peace of mind and we pride ourselves on doing everything possible to enhance residents’ quality of life.

Our bright and spacious communal spaces, such as our large coffee lounge, are perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea or a slice of cake, or socialising with friends and loved ones. These spaces also benefit from views over our beautiful gardens, creating a sense of peace and serenity for residents. Residents also have full use of our on-site hair salon.

Situated in the north Dorset town of Gillingham, we benefit from the abundance of local shops, cafés, restaurants and other facilities. This means residents can continue to do what they love, whether that’s coffee with friends or enjoying activities with visiting loved ones. Nothing is too much trouble for us when it comes to the care and comfort of residents and we always go the extra mile to help residents maintain their lifestyle and independence.

Residents have great opportunities to socialise with one another and other members of the local elderly community during our social events held at The Brook, our in-house community space. This bright and airy room forms a hub for the wider Gillingham community, hosting activities such as coffee mornings and social clubs, which help to improve physical and mental wellbeing.

We understand that looking for a care home can be a difficult and daunting process, but we want you to know that you are not alone. Please feel free to give us a call or fill out an enquiry form and we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have, provide you with support throughout the process, or simply give you a better idea of life at Fern Brook Lodge.
