About Milton Grange

Milton Grange is a residential care home in Bournemouth. We care for older people who need support with daily living, including those living with dementia and those living with mental health conditions. Our care is the practical daily sort: help to wash and dress, medication given properly and on time, meals cooked on the premises, support to get about safely and staff available at any hour. We try to keep the house feeling domestic. People get up when they are ready, spend the day as they choose and have visitors when they want them. For residents living with dementia we keep routines steady and the faces around them familiar, and we ask families to tell us about working lives, music and habits. For people living with mental health conditions, consistency and staff who stay steady when things are difficult count for a great deal, and we keep close working relationships with GPs and community teams. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether to give a family carer a planned break or to support somebody through a difficult period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole are welcome to visit.
