About AA-I-Care - 35 Southwell

We at AA I Care 35 Southwell are proud to provide compassionate home care across Portland and the wider Dorset community, supporting people to live safely and comfortably in the place they know best: their own home. As a home care agency, our support comes to you. Rather than asking loved ones to leave familiar surroundings, we bring professional care directly into the household, whether that is a family home overlooking the Jurassic Coast, a bungalow tucked into one of Portland's characterful neighbourhoods, or a flat in the heart of the community. This means routines, treasured possessions, and the comforts of home remain part of everyday life. Our team supports a wide range of needs, offering care for older people, younger adults, and those living with mental health conditions, physical disabilities, or visual and hearing impairments. In practice, this breadth of experience means we can tailor support to the whole person rather than a single diagnosis. For an older resident, that might mean help with morning routines, medication prompts, and companionship over a cup of tea. For a younger adult building independence, it may involve support with daily living skills and community access. For someone with sensory loss, our carers take extra care with clear communication, safe navigation of the home, and preserving confidence in familiar spaces. Families living with the challenges of mental ill health can rely on a consistent, understanding presence that promotes stability and dignity. We understand that inviting a carer into your home is a significant step, and trust is earned through reliability, kindness, and professionalism. Our aim is always to work in partnership with families, keeping loved ones informed and involved, and adapting the care plan as needs change over time. Families researching care in the DT postcode area will want reassurance about quality, and we are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, dated 11 November 2025, awarded us an overall rating of Good. This rating was achieved across every domain the CQC assesses: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. For families, this consistent picture offers meaningful reassurance. It reflects an independent view that people are protected from harm, that the care provided achieves good outcomes, that our team treats those we support with warmth and respect, that we respond thoughtfully to individual needs, and that the agency is guided by clear and capable leadership. Choosing home care is one of the most personal decisions a family can make, and we know it often comes at a time of uncertainty or change. Whether you are arranging support following a hospital stay, planning ahead for a loved one whose needs are increasing, or simply looking for a little extra help so that a family member can continue to enjoy life at home in Portland, we would be glad to hear from you. Please get in touch to talk through what matters most to your family, and let us explain how we can help.
