About Marjorie House
Marjorie House is a residential care home in Poole providing a home for older people and for younger adults who need help with everyday life, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with loss of sight or hearing. The place runs at the pace of the people living in it. Breakfast happens when somebody wakes rather than when a trolley arrives, and the day takes the shape a person wants. The care covers washing and dressing, medication, meals cooked here, mobility and the many small practical things that become difficult alone, given in a way that leaves somebody their privacy. For those living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar. For people with loss of sight or hearing we adapt how we communicate, how rooms are lit and how we approach and announce ourselves, because those small changes decide whether a person is included or left on the edge of things. Families are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would much rather hear a concern early than late. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
