Overview
Dorset House is a Care South home for residential and dementia care in the heart of the Hamworthy community near Poole, Dorset. We are warmly welcoming new residents and inviting families and friends to share in the Food, Fun and Friendship on offer in this popular Poole care home.
Dorset House has 50 welcoming, fully furnished rooms, each with a 24-hour call bell, ensuring residents are comfortable, safe and expertly cared for. We give all our residents support and peace of mind and we pride ourselves on doing everything possible to enhance residents’ quality of life.
This Poole care home has a number of spacious and bright communal lounges, overlooking our landscaped garden and pond. This lovely green space helps to create a sense of peace and serenity for residents and provides the perfect place to relax with a cup of tea and a slice of cake, or socialise with friends and loved ones. Residents also have full use of our on-site hair salon.
In the peaceful Poole suburb of Hamworthy, we are perfectly situated to benefit from the shops and amenities in the area, including local beaches, Upton Country Park and Poole Quay. This enables residents to 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.
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 Dorset House.
