About House Care Home
Here at Verwood House Care Home, we provide nursing care for people living in and around Verwood, Dorset, and we take real pride in the community we have built within our walls. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which reflects the effort our whole team puts in every day to make sure the people in our care feel safe, comfortable and genuinely at home. We support a wide range of needs under one roof. Alongside older person and nursing care, we are experienced in supporting people living with dementia, those with a learning disability or autism, individuals with mental health needs, and people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. We also welcome younger adults who need nursing or residential support. Having this breadth of experience means we can often continue to care for someone as their needs change over time, which matters enormously to the people we support and to their families. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the biggest decisions a family will face, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment someone first contacts us, we try to be straightforward, honest and helpful. We want people to visit, ask questions and take the time they need before making any decision. Life here is about more than meeting care needs. We work hard to make sure each person has a real say in their day, their routines and the things that matter to them. Relationships are at the heart of what we do, whether that is between a resident and a member of our team, or between residents and their loved ones, whom we always make welcome. We are genuinely proud of Verwood House and the people who call it home.
