About Linkfield Court

Linkfield Court is a residential care home in Bournemouth, supporting older adults and some younger adults. We offer permanent places and respite stays, and we support residents living with dementia and residents with a physical disability. A home like this should feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been sent. Residents keep their own routines, their own belongings and their own views about how things should go, and we support them to carry on doing what they can for themselves. The help is there to make ordinary life possible, not to replace it. For residents living with dementia we rely on familiarity, a steady daily rhythm, and staff who will give somebody the time to respond in their own way. When a resident is distressed we look for the reason behind it rather than simply managing the moment, because there almost always is one. Being in Bournemouth, getting out matters to people and is easy to let slip when a home is busy, so we keep it on the agenda deliberately. Respite stays are planned as carefully as a permanent move, and guests are part of the household from the day they arrive. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Anyone considering a place here is welcome to visit and see how the home actually feels.
