Review of Selwood House Care Home from Brian J (Husband of Resident) published on 23 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Janice (the patient) and I (her visiting husband) were so impressed by the quality of care she received. The carers, mainly young men, were so very friendly to us both and cared for her every need, personal and intimate.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from Alison M (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum has taken a little while to settle in to her new home and , as with any new situation, there have been one or two bumps in the road. However, all the staff are keen to provide a warm, caring environment for the residents and any issues or queries are dealt with promptly. Whenever I pop in to see Mum I am always greeted warmly and it is lovely to see how kind and cheerful the staff are in their interactions with her. I can honestly say that it is a pleasure to visit Mum here as there is such a welcoming atmosphere. She has made friends with a lovely group of ladies and they all look out for one another. I usually end up sat on the sofa chatting away to them all. The manager and her team go above and beyond with all their activities and have even managed to get my Mum involved from time to time.....A minor miracle. Thanks to all the team at Selwood House and kind regards to all the lovely residents.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from L Y (Niece of Resident) published on 28 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I absolutely love this care home in Dorset. It feels modern, safe, clean and peaceful. The grounds are beautiful and the home always feels so welcoming and well presented. It has a sense of home and a happy, bright place to be thanks to the staff who are always so friendly, kind and caring. Exactly the kind of place you want to be cared for when needed, it certainly gives me peace of mind that my relative is being well cared for. The staff always go above and beyond to make us feel welcomed to visit and put some lovely events on which is really appreciated. Thank you for everything you do to make this process a happier time than it may have been elsewhere.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from A G (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We needed somewhere for Mum to stay whilst we went on a holiday that wasn't suitable for her abilities. From the first contact to the final goodbye all the staff were kind, welcoming, enthusiastic and caring of Mum. Her birthday was celebrated in style and we were able to celebrate a family occasion with her in their special dining room before we went away. Mum regularly refers to her 'hotel stay' in the most loving of terms. Thoroughly recommend

Reply from Kate Andrew, Customer Relations Manager at Selwood House Care Home

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We were so happy to be able to look after your mum whilst you were able to enjoy such a great holiday. We cannot wait to have her back.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from Jane M (Niece of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I've visited my aunt on a number of occasions during the past few months and I've been so happy knowing that she is in good hands. The staff are lovely and during the Christmas period, they made a lovely effort to make the place festive and put on little events. My aunt seems very happy there and she has said it's a 5 star experience, therefore I can only recommend to others.

Reply from Kate Andrew, Customer Relations Manager at Selwood House Care Home

We are delighted to hear that you are able to have such lovely visits with your aunt whilst she is with us. Thank you for your kind review.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from H R (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Selwood House Care Home is so welcoming and has such a homely feel. The staff are so friendly and helpful. There are no set visiting times and whatever time of day you go, you are always made to feel welcome. The layout has been very well thought out and the home has such a lovely garden. The whole place is always super clean and tidy. The food is amazing, we had a lovely family belated 80th birthday meal for my mum in the private dining area, made extra special by one of the staff who was the best host ever bringing us service with a smile. My mum initially went to Selwood House on respite care and left but returned shortly afterwards as a permanent resident. I will always remember how lovely the staff were when my mum returned, they all went out of their way to welcome her back which meant so much.

Reply from Kate Andrew, Customer Relations Manager at Selwood House Care Home

Thank you for such a heart felt review. We are so grateful to be able to be the supportive home and loving 'family-like' network for your mum. She is such a delight to have here at Selwood and we look forward to an exciting year of events and activities with her.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from Trevor G (Son of Resident) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Selwood is an incredible care home, we looked in several areas close to where Mum lived and where we live but nothing quite fitted Mum's needs, requirements, and expectations. Since August Mum has become very settled and no longer is constantly wanting to go home. The Selwood staff from the admin to the carer's have been truly fantastic and are amazing with my mum. I would highly recommend Selwood to anyone.

Reply from Kate Andrew, Customer Relations Manager at Selwood House Care Home

We are so thrilled to hear such a lovely review. Your mum really is a very special part of the Selwood Family. Thank you very much. Team Selwood.

My husband has been a resident for three periods of respite and is now a permanent resident at Selwood House. The staff are professional, caring, and understanding. The home has a peaceful atmosphere where the residents are given individual care and attention.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from P W (Wife of Resident) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Wonderful surroundings, bedrooms large and are well appointed, decor bright and modern, and general eating and lounge areas welcoming and easy to manoeuvre if you have disabilities.
The staff caring and friendly, but not always available. Personal care sometimes lacking and communication about what is needed for your loved one sadly lacking (shaving).

Good range of activities and hobbies if desired.

Reply from Kate Andrew, Customer Relations Manager at Selwood House Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. We really do appreciate your comments and continue to grow and improve daily, to make Selwood the very best care home it can be for our residents.

Overall Experience
Absolute gem of a find.
Mother is happy, content and we'll cared for, all her needs have been met.
All the staff seem very friendly and helpful.
Although mother does not join in activities she hears them going on in the background and it's uplifting for her.

So pleased we can leave mother in safe hands.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from M G (Husband of Resident) published on 28 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The most important thing is that my wife (with dementia) has settled in well, is content, as happy as can be hoped for, and is well looked after.
Selwood is modern, well laid-out, clean, food appears good. The staff are welcoming, caring, and interested in the residents.
A possible thing that could be improved is the activities for dementia residents - an additional activities coordinator would be beneficial.
It's more expensive than some, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Overall, I'm very happy with Selwood.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from Dan D (Son of Resident) published on 25 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We had been looking for a suitable home for respite and possible long-term care for my mother following some recent health issues. She has been a resident there for four weeks now, and we now expect her to remain there indefinitely. Selwood is truly wonderful - I am always truly bowled over each time I visit. The standards of accommodation, food, care and general vibe to the place are all first class - I always leave with a smile on my face.

I wanted to find somewhere really nice for my mum to recover and settle into a new routine. Selwood is such a place - somewhere where I can be confident that she is happy and safe.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from J S (Husband of Resident) published on 22 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From arrival the reception area is very welcoming, the rooms are comfortably equipped, and overall the facilities are more than adequate, including a Spar and hairdresser, in fact, all fittings, and furnishings throughout are in excellent condition.
More importantly, the staff are all friendly and helpful and more than capable.
Couldn't wish for a more reassuring and professional home for my loved one.

Kind regards.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from J W (Son of Resident) published on 22 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are extremely helpful and diligent to my Father's needs. They are very patient and professional when dealing with him and also my elderly Mother when I bring her to visit Dad. The room is always very clean and my Dad whilst suffering from dementia does say that when a member of staff comes into the room they are very nice.

A very good care home and I know they will look after Dad. It gives Mum and I peace of mind.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from Carol K (Wife of Resident) published on 22 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband has been a Dementia/Parkinson's resident for approximately 16 weeks. He settled quite well and at the moment seems quite happy. The staff are all so lovely and the care given is very good. The food is nice, but I think a bit more plain cooking would be beneficial, especially for the older generation. Sometimes the food is on top of other food, perhaps if it was put on the plate so the resident could see what it is might be better. I can only speak for my hubby, he would like to see what he is eating. It's only on some meals, others are ok. Also, when they pick their meals, perhaps pictures would be best, so they visualise what it is they are choosing.

It is very hard to find any fault, which shows it's a very good care home. Would highly recommend Selwood House.

Review of Selwood House Care Home from Julie P (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Fantastic home. A particular member of staff helped us secure a place here for Mum. We thought it was like a 5-star hotel. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and Mum is gradually settling in. The staff member who does the activities is great and helps encourage Mum on the trips. Other staff do a fantastic job on her hair and nails. So glad we chose Welwood House Care Home.
