Home Care in Dorset
We provide exceptional home care across Dorset, enabling people to live comfortably, safely, and independently in their own home. From towns like Bournemouth and Poole to rural villages in between, our compassionate Care Professionals deliver personalised support that helps clients live well at home, every day. Whether it’s companionship, help around the house, or specialist care, our flexible services are designed around the needs and wishes of each individual.
Quality, Personalised Home Care in Dorset
Our home care in Dorset focuses on you as an individual – exactly as it should. We provide personalised home care ranging from a few hours weekly to comprehensive live-in support, with services including friendly companionship, specialist dementia care, personal assistance, and palliative support. Everything we deliver comes with dignity, genuine empathy and reliability.
As a fully CQC-regulated provider, families across Dorset can feel confident in our commitment to safety, quality and professionalism.
What truly makes our home care in Dorset special is our dedication to building meaningful relationships. We thoughtfully match each client with a Care Professional who not only understands their care needs but shares similar interests – perhaps enjoying Dorset’s beautiful coastal walks together, discussing gardening, or sharing stories about local history.
From Bournemouth to Weymouth, Sherborne to Swanage, our team understands Dorset’s communities and delivers home care that helps you remain independent, comfortable and content in your own home.
Our services help people across Dorset stay independent and enjoy the familiarity of home. Whether in a seaside town like Swanage, a historic town like Sherborne, or a quiet village in the countryside, we’re here to help with thoughtful, person-centred care.
Companionship Care
Loneliness can be as challenging as any physical condition. Our companionship care offers warm, reliable visits that brighten the day. Whether it’s a cuppa and a chat, a walk along the seafront, or a trip to the local garden centre, we’re here to help.
Dementia Care
Living with dementia can be overwhelming, but specialist care at home can help maintain structure, calm, and quality of life. Our Care Professionals are trained to understand different types of dementia and to provide support that is gentle, consistent, and reassuring.
Live-in Care
For those needing more continuous support, live-in care offers the reassurance of having someone on hand throughout the day and night. From Weymouth to Wimborne, our live-in Care Professionals support with personal care, mobility, routines, and companionship.
Respite Care
Caring for a loved one is a big responsibility, and everyone needs a break now and then. Our respite care provides short-term support from experienced Care Professionals, so family carers can rest, recharge, or attend to other commitments, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
Palliative Care
When care is needed at the end of life, we offer gentle, dignified support that helps families make the most of their time together. Working alongside local health teams, our palliative care focuses on comfort, calm, and emotional wellbeing at every stage.
Whatever your needs, our Dorset care team is here to offer compassionate, personalised support that helps you or your loved one live well at home. From regular visits to full-time care, we’re proud to serve our local communities with warmth, respect, and a commitment to making every day count.
