About Cherry Tree Lodge
We at Cherry Tree Lodge are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in Bournemouth, providing dedicated older person care in a setting that truly feels like home. Nestled within the coastal town of Bournemouth, our home offers a peaceful sanctuary where residents can enjoy comfort, companionship and compassionate support every day. Our location in the BH postcode area places us within the vibrant community of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, giving families the reassurance of knowing their loved ones are cared for in one of the South West's most cherished coastal towns. The surroundings offer a gentle pace of life, and our home has been thoughtfully arranged to create a comfortable environment where residents can relax, socialise and feel genuinely at ease. At the heart of what we do is our commitment to older person care and residential care, delivered with warmth, patience and respect. We understand that moving into a care home is a significant step, and we work closely with each resident and their family to make the transition as smooth as possible. Our team takes the time to learn about each person's history, preferences and routines, so that daily life feels familiar and personal rather than clinical. From assistance with everyday tasks to companionship during quieter moments, we aim to preserve independence whilst offering the reassurance of support whenever it is needed. We also provide respite care, which can be a lifeline for families who care for a loved one at home. Whether you need a short break to rest and recharge, or you are looking for supportive care following a hospital stay, our respite stays offer the same high standard of attention as our long term residency. Respite guests are welcomed warmly into the community of the home, sharing meals, activities and the friendly atmosphere that defines Cherry Tree Lodge. Family involvement is something we truly value. We encourage relatives and friends to visit, share meals and take part in the life of the home, because we know that strong connections with loved ones are central to wellbeing. Our approach is built on open communication, so families are kept informed and involved in decisions about care, comfort and daily living. We are proud to hold an overall rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission, following their inspection in October 2018. This rating was awarded across every domain assessed, including Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well led. For families, this offers meaningful reassurance that the care provided at Cherry Tree Lodge meets the standards expected by the national regulator, and that our approach to safety, leadership and compassionate care has been independently recognised. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the emotions involved. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Bournemouth or the surrounding areas, we warmly invite you to get in touch with us. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about daily life at the home and help you consider whether Cherry Tree Lodge might be the right place for your family. Whatever stage of the journey you are at, please know that a caring conversation awaits you here.
