About Pogles Wood

Pogles Wood is a residential care home in Wimborne supporting younger adults, including people who have a learning disability, autistic people, people with a physical disability and people whose sight or hearing is impaired. Support here is agreed with each person rather than handed to them. For some it is help with personal care, medication and daily routines. For others it is practical support with cooking, laundry, money and appointments. For others again it is mainly about reliable people being around while they get on with work, college or their own social life. Most people want some mixture, and it shifts as circumstances do. Where sight or hearing is impaired, consistency is everything. We keep belongings exactly where people expect them, we describe what we are about to do before we do it and we make sure we have actually been understood rather than assuming so. For autistic people we support, notice of change, clear communication and sensible management of noise and busyness make the greatest difference. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Dorset are welcome to come and see the house. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
