About Southbourne Beach Care Home

Southbourne Beach Care Home is a residential care home in Bournemouth. We care for older adults, including many people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We aim for a home that is easy to live in. Calm surroundings, a day with a dependable shape, and staff who are not in a rush. For people living with dementia those three things do more good than almost anything we could add, and they take steady attention to maintain rather than a one off effort. People here keep their own furniture and photographs, decide when to get up and when to turn in, and have a say in the food and in how sociable an afternoon is going to be. Support with washing, dressing, medication and appointments is given quietly and only as far as it is needed. Visitors are welcome at the times that suit them. We ask families for a great deal of detail early on. Where somebody grew up, the work they did, the names that matter, the music they liked. It is what allows staff to make sense of a person on a difficult day, and it is the difference between caring for somebody and caring for their diagnosis. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange a visit and see the home for yourself.
