About Advance Dorset
We at Advance Dorset are proud to provide compassionate home care across Broadstone and the wider Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area, supporting people to live well and independently in the place they know best: their own home. As a home care agency, our work takes place within the familiar surroundings of each person we support. Broadstone is a welcoming community in the heart of Dorset, and we are privileged to visit residents throughout this leafy suburban town and its neighbouring areas. Being based in the BH postcode region allows us to respond thoughtfully to the needs of local families, whilst ensuring that the people we care for remain connected to the places, routines, and communities they love. Our team offers a broad range of specialised support tailored to each individual. We provide older person care and dementia care with patience, warmth, and a deep understanding of how memory conditions affect daily life. For adults living with a learning disability or autism, we focus on enabling choice, routine, and confidence. We also support younger adults, people managing mental health conditions, and those with a physical disability or visual and hearing impairment. Whatever the need, our approach is the same: to listen carefully, to plan sensitively, and to deliver care that respects dignity at every visit. In practice, this means families can feel reassured that a loved one is receiving support shaped around them, whether that involves personal care, medication prompts, companionship, help around the home, or more complex support needs. We understand that inviting a care team into a family member's home is a significant step, and we work hard to build trust from the very first conversation. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of Good, achieved across every domain including Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This independent recognition offers families reassurance that the care we provide meets recognised standards and is delivered by a team that takes pride in doing things properly. If you are exploring home care options for yourself or someone dear to you, we warmly invite you to get in touch. We are always happy to answer questions, talk through what support might look like, and help you take the next step with confidence and peace of mind.
