Care Home Owned by Country Court in Dorset

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.

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.

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

has said it's a 5 star experience, therefore I can only recommend to others.

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.

the carer's have been truly fantastic and are amazing with my mum. I would highly recommend Selwood to anyone.

is needed for your loved one sadly lacking (shaving).
Good range of activities and hobbies if desired.

hands.

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.

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.

helpful and more than capable.
Couldn't wish for a more reassuring and professional home for my loved one.
Kind regards.

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.

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.

a fantastic job on her hair and nails. So glad we chose Welwood House Care Home.

gardens. My mother enjoys regular access to these gardens and daily stimulating, fun activities are organised and thoughtfully tailored to the abilities of the group. My mother particularly enjoys the quizzes and singing sessions, as well as being pampered at the in-house salon! The lovely private dining suite has proved extremely useful for large family visits and the quality of food and service is, as always, reassuringly high. I would have no hesitation in recommending Selwood House to your loved one.

highly enough.
