Residential Care

High quality, innovative care delivered by highly qualified, experienced staff

Care South is a leading provider of residential and dementia care services for older people. We have 16 homes across Dorset, each offering exceptional levels of high quality, innovative care that can be adapted to suit your individual needs.

Whether you’re looking for a short stay, a change of scenery, to give you and your family members a break, or even a new home, we can give you comfort, security, peace of mind and, if you want to get involved, a range of activities too.

We’ll arrange your perfect balance of care. As well as providing comfortable accommodation and high quality meals, we can help with everything from washing and eating to doing the laundry and making the bed.

Our care staff are on hand around the clock, 365 days a year, and there’s an on-site Home Manager who is responsible for the overall running of each home.

Highly trained staff

We believe that delivering quality care is all about friendly, highly trained staff meeting your particular care needs with uncompromising levels of skill and understanding.

Staff who provide care to some groups of people, such as people with learning disabilities or dementia, receive additional specialist training, while all our staff have access to continual professional career development which keeps them up to date on the latest techniques and research.

Our training and NVQ assessment centre delivers a variety of courses in venues across the south west. We also make this training available to other care companies.

We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and all our staff have passed comprehensive statutory security checks.

Please note that our residential care homes do not offer nursing care. This is provided by the district nursing service on the same basis as for people living in their own homes. Please go to the care South nursing care pages using the links below.
