"My husband recently spent a few weeks staying at Wimborne his first time living away from home. The atmosphere was warm and caring. The staff were helpful - they respected his need for solitude at times/not always wanting to be drawn into some activities on offer. He enjoyed the food and the morning walks as well as being allowed, at times, to chat with folks in the entrance area! As a family we were well supported and kept informed regularly. A good experience. Thank you."

Visited Wimborne for their Veterans Breakfast meetup. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, great experience overall. Impressed with what I saw of the building interiors, lovely place!

Had a lovely visit to the Veterans breakfast event. We were made to feel very welcome, the home has a lovely feel to it and the staff were really friendly and helpful- will definitely attend this event again.

Residents seemed happy
Activities happening and were lively and the food looked lovely, i was offered cake by the chef.
Some staff at the front door area seemed very clicky and unhelpful and were moaning about colleagues which didn't seem very professional. This was a bit of a let down

Other than this the home seemed welcoming and my friend who lives here didnt have anything bad to say

"My mum, Jo, has been a resident at the Wimborne Care Home for some 18 months and I cannot praise the staff, managers, all the carers and even Gary who does the maintenance for looking after my mum they way they do. Mum has also made many new friends and its lovely to see that interaction and how they all look out for each other. Cakes are exceptional!"

"June was in as a Respite, initially 14 days there, as not ready for leaving, another 14 days. Due to the care, and help from NHS OT and Physio, and private physio, she's recovered mobility well and now coming home. Initially, despite excellent care from the home, was a little unsettled but has adjusted to care home life."

I visited Wimborne with youth group volunteers and it was a lovely experience. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and watching the residents and volunteers enjoy board games together was really heartwarming, it was clear both age groups got a lot out of it. The atmosphere was happy and relaxed, we had a lot of fun, and the food smelled absolutely amazing. A truly lovely care home!

"Very friendly and helpful, and my mother-in-law was extremely happy with her stay and would stay again if needed."

"Mum moved in 4 weeks ago, she has been made very welcome and has settled well, she has a lot of stimulation and is very content, the staff are very attentive and kind, although it was a hard decision moving mum has been a positive experience."

My dad has Alzheimers and I was given an opportunity to attend one of their talks, which i think was called "Communicating with someone with dementure." These talks are advertised and open to the community to book a place.
The talk lasted an hour, and could have gone on much longer because of the interest in the room. Nikki was our host and speaker and delivered a huge amount of ideas at a level I could easily relate to. The talk was perfectly pitched. I left with new ideas to try, and confirmation that some of the techniques I use to talk to dad are going to be beneficial. (It also corrected me on my bad practises, but we won't talk about those) Tea, coffee and biscuits were also on offer. Thank you Nikki.

"The staff are excellent - could not be better - not an easy job."

"It was a very upsetting time when I had to find a suitable home for my Dad. Right from my initial call to Wimborne, I was treated with kindness, compassion and an empathetic approach. They have been incredibly supportive throughout the process. My Dad has been with them since beginning of August and nothing is too much trouble. They have gone above and beyond. My Dad is so happy thanks to their flexible and caring approach. Nothing is too much trouble and all staff are always helpful and friendly. They take him out regularly and he's even helmed a boat bringing back precious memories of his time in the navy. Being a veteran registered home this was important to them. I can't thank them enough for supporting us and welcoming my Dad with open arms, they're a true extension of our family."

"Our Mother of 92 years of age needed time to recover from a fall after a week in hospital before going back home. A few care homes were visited on Hayling Island as we wanted the home to be close to the family home that our father was still living at. Wimborne was by far the best option fornour mother. Nikki was ever so helpful to have the process completed in less than 24hours to allow our mother to be made very welcome once she had been discharged from hospital at Cosham. The stay was originally booked for two weeks but was extended by another 8 days to allow a full recovery. Highly recommend, the staff were ever so obliging. Our mother was extremely well looked after, food was excellent and there were many activities available during the day."

"I spent a fortnight here after a spell in hospital. I then returned to my home until I found difficulty looking after myself Because I had been comfortable and well looked after (at the age of 95) I decided to return"

"I have been so welcomed throughout my stay The hospitality is second to none All staff could not have been kinder or more helpful."
