Care Home Owned by Amica Care in Dorset

is not always possible to move away from the noise and confusion.

The food is generally nourishing and well cooked. Information is easily available online and from the staff, who are friendly and helpful.

to Management. My husband receives an astonishing amount of care and consideration. Given his extremely challenging behaviour, I cannot adequately praise the attitude of all the staff. They are kind, compassionate and trustworthy. He is in safe hands. Any concerns I have had have been dealt with very kindly by management who have gone beyond expectations.

unfortunately abroad but my brother went to the home as soon as we were notified her health had deteriorated and stayed until she passed away. During this time the staff made sure he was comfortable and had meals as well as looking after Mum.
I would not hesitate to recommend Signature House to anyone who was looking for a placement for someone who has dementia and in fact two people I know have put their husbands there.
All the staff are exceptional and cannot do enough for their residents and family members.
We will support the events they hold to help raise money for the residents.

beyond, and are also incredibly kind and considerate to visiting friends and family. My mother's care needs are met on every level and the nursing staff communicate any updates on medication, physical changes, or personal issues. There is always someone available to help connect family members via Facetime for a chat and we are grateful for all the help and care received - from management, reception, kitchen, and laundry to all the nurses and carers - nothing is ever too much trouble. Our thanks to all the team and (with experience of other care homes) we cannot recommend Signature House highly enough.

in earlier life, she took a great interest in the food and was very pleased that it was so well-prepared and tasty. She wasn't able to take part in very many of the activities on offer but enjoyed them when she could. When I visited, I always found the staff cheerful, welcoming and easy to talk to and I appreciated their many kindnesses to me. Care home staff have so much to do, but here they never gave the impression of being in a hurry or too busy. Thank you.

and everywhere kept clean and tidy. The staff at all levels remained calm and helpful, even under stress and there was always someone able to answer our questions. Thank you Signature House.

out to be the last months of his life. Each and everyone contributed to his quality of life and well-being. It was a privilege to welcome some staff members to his funeral. Not only did the staff care most lovingly for my husband, but they also embraced me and our granddaughter whenever we came to visit. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They always had time for us and gave us their full support. I have sung Signature House's praises far and wide and will always remember all the staff with great fondness and gratitude. My thanks again to you all.

the nurses and staff's time and dedication to looking after some very difficult patients. They are trained to pick up signals when someone could be violent. My husband is much more settled and clean. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone who has a loved one with Alzheimer's.

and she was happy for us to leave her there in the knowledge that she would be cared for by them. Very quickly, staff realised that her mobility was poor and moved her closer to the dining room to reduce the risk of falls. She is now very settled and always says that she wants for nothing. We are very impressed with the friendly, knowledgeable staff, the bright, clean accommodation and seeing all residents looking content and well cared for. We had a big family celebration in the downstairs social room for her ninetieth birthday. We were so pleased to see her looking so happy with all her family around her.

is a great sense of community at Signature and I feel any concerns I have are listened to. Many thanks!

where I was made to feel welcome, and all aspects of my care were discussed with me and my wife.
Our 55th wedding anniversary occurred in the second week of my stay, and the staff made a huge effort to make the day very enjoyable. They fussed over us as if we were their family. When I left, they all made a point of seeing me to say goodbye.

support they always gave me during my regular visits or when discussing my wife's care needs.

I visit my husband every day, and everybody is friendly and welcoming and there is a very happy atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The receptionists, the maintenance staff, the catering team, the laundry staff, and the cleaning staff are all very helpful and friendly. The home is very efficiently managed and spotlessly clean, and the food is excellent and attractively served.
My only criticism is that I don't think there are frequent enough stimulating activities provided to keep the residents awake and alert, but I realise that staff are difficult to find for this purpose.
