We know that a short break surrounded by experienced and well-trained staff can help aid your recovery following an illness or operation. More than just outstanding, tailored nursing care, our reflexologist, masseur, chef and hairdresser will take care of what they do best – allowing you to get back to taking care of yourself – we welcome holiday stays.

Bringing together care and support with independent living and authentic choice – we have found the perfect balance of positive intervention alongside your independence and privacy. Our Activities Manager incorporates inspiring activities into your daily regime – ensuring a friendly approach to care – in a family-orientated home from home.

Supporting your psychological, physical and spiritual wellbeing – and your family – at this incredibly sensitive and emotional time will always be our key priority. Through expert pain management and advanced care plans we follow the Gold Standards Framework to ensure peace and tranquility – and the highest possible standard of end-of-life care.

All of our staff receive in-depth dementia awareness training enabling them to help our residents to live life to the full. We welcome relatives and friends to our training, to help them understand why their loved one behaves differently. Somerleigh Court is one of the first homes in Dorset to own the Magic Table, shortlisted for the dementia product of the year 2017.
