Reviews for Wimborne Care Home

This is a lovely care home at which I attend a local business network meeting. As small businesses, we are made to feel very welcome. I've walked through the home a couple of times and it is a lovely environment where people are well cared for. It's lovely as a business owner to be part of the local community in this way, so thank you Barchester Wimborne Care Home for your hospitality.

During every visit to see my father all of the staff have been extremely friendly and helpful. There seem to be many activities organised to entertain the residents. The garden areas are lovely places to sit when the weather is fine.

Yesterday I visited The Wimborne Care Home as part of their Resident Veterans Support group. I was greeted by a friendly smiley Kate at the door and taken through to the conservatory where 7 veterans were waiting for us. Sarah then introduced everyone before we had a cup of tea. Kerry was delighted to inform us all that they had just received accreditation for Veterans - which all the staff had worked hard for. It was clear from listening to the residents that they were very well looked after. They have many different activities throughout the week. The home was spotless and I had a quick look at the menu of the day and both lunch and dinner looked great..Thank you everyone for inviting the Hayling Island Armed Forces Breakfast Club to join you once again. We all look forward to our next visit.

A lovely care home. My mum Elizabeth's life with Alzheimer's has been transformed by the atmosphere and activity there. It is a pleasure to visit, like she is staying in a very comfortable hotel with friendly guests and dedicated staff. I also know that if she has problems the team there will look after her exceptionally well. Thank you all :-).

When I visited Wimborne to assess it for care for my mum I was very impressed with the warm friendly atmosphere. Being there day in day out I saw the residents being well cared for and it is very clear that the team all love their jobs and go above and beyond they are so welcoming. This shows in the care the residents receive, it is excellent. Zoe the activities coordinator has so much enthusiasm and zest for life it’s hard not to enjoy everything she does. Sarah the manager is warm approachable and exceptional in leading the home. I Would highly recommend it to anyone.

What a lovely place, the staff are fantastic & unlike other care homes … they take their residents on excursions including motorcycle evenings, boat trips & beach walks. Plus they have groups come to them & even do a veterans breakfast so guests have enjoyable chats. Highly recommended.

"Our dad has been a resident at Wimborne for over 2 years since our mum died. Dad has advanced dementia but is always treated with the utmost attentiveness and respect. He is 100 years old and is clearly very comfortable and content in the care home"

"I have been visiting a friend (age 93) who has recently become a resident at Wimborne. The staff are welcoming, the home very clean and comfortable. The food, so my friend says, is excellent and allows a lot of choice. She is also impressed by the activities on offer everyday and she is looking forward to going out on a trip to."

"I have always found the carers and staff to be friendly and attentive to visitors and residents alike. Their passion and their care is constant. Activities are many and varied and the posts of social media (which is where I can see pictures of the resident and their activities) fill me and my family with confidence and the residents care and that they are being looked after."

"My sister has been a resident at Wimborne Care Home for just over a year. During this time, I have found the home to be extremely supportive to both my sister and surrounding family and friends. The staff are always friendly and caring and are always available if I have any concerns. My sister is always included in the activities available if she wants to join in."

"My grandfather received regular respite care at Wimborne Care Home and the team was outstanding in the care they provided. It really was a 'home from home'. When his condition deteriorated rapidly, the amazing team took him for respite with only 24hrs notice and made his last few weeks comfortable and dignified. We are so glad that he died with his 'extended family', the team who cared about him and knew him so well and not another hospital or care home who would not have known him as well. They not only provided holistic end-of-life care to him but also advice and support to us as a family. I would wholeheartedly recommend the team at Wimborne who really go the extra mile for all their family."
