There is a very personal and caring atmosphere in the home, and both residents and visitors are made to feel they are in a normal home atmosphere as far as that can be achieved.
Safety measures are observed well, and a visiting GP gives regular and excellent medical support to the residents.
Many thanks for your kind words and lovely review.
When I visit the staff are always polite, helpful and caring. There are various activities for the resident's every day. All of the carers I have met really seem to care.

My mother-in-law was really struggling at home. She was not eating properly and losing weight very quickly. She didn't remember to take her medication. Her neighbours found her wandering outside on a busy main road. Her dementia meant that she was hearing voices. The social services of our local council found her a respite care place in Blenheim Care Home. This has been a complete blessing. The manager telephoned me in advance and recorded all her details eg. Medication, likes and dislikes, how she liked to be addressed. It was very professional and very caring. She was welcomed warmly on her day of arrival and allocated a lovely room with a view of the garden. Everyone introduced themselves and gave us plenty of time to settle in. It was a very friendly atmosphere. I have visited a few times now and all the staff are approachable and knowledgeable. They come across as an exceptional and dedicated team. I feel very fortunate to have my mother-in-law here. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone.
Thank you for your very kind words RM. We are pleased she has settled in really well.
The staff are kind and friendly and very caring for all their guests. I am confident that my relative is in safe hands. The food is excellent. The management team are very diligent and professional. I would highly recommend.

If I request for my Gran to have a cup of hot milk, they kindly bring one to her within minutes.
They treat the residents with care, dignity and respect!

Many, many thanks to the wonderful team at Blenheim Care Home for making my mum so welcome. Mum has only very recently moved into the home so is still settling in, but the team have made such a big effort to welcome her & assist with the big change. They are also very supportive to myself & rest of the family too, which is so important during such a difficult time. A big thank you to everyone, I'm afraid I don't know the name of everyone, but special mention & thank you to Kerry, Charlene, Mollie & Gina.

My mum had advanced dementia and was initially residing in another care home, where she would be left in bed all day and fed pureed food. When my dad was assessed no longer able to live on his own, we were able to reunite my parents by moving them both into Blenheim Care Home.
The staff's interest in getting my mum dressed & socialising, in the communal area, with the other residents, resulted in her condition improving, within 2 months, to the point that she was once more able to feed herself & eat solids!
They often have entertainers & animals visiting to keep the residents stimulated. The home is in a beautifully picturesque area of Bournemouth and the staff are super-friendly, always looking to learn more about those in their care, to help shape and personalise the care for each resident. My parent's lives were extended 6-12 months thanks to the care they received from this fantastic team!
Many thanks for your kind words Adam, both mum & dad are missed by the team, Dad was such a great character he liven the place up. Take care

Patience, understanding and care were given to my husband for two weeks of respite care. His medication was given on time and correct dosage.

Thank you for your review with the highest possible rating in all areas. Your husband was a pleasure to care for and it is lovely to know you had the well-deserved rest you needed. Your comments will be passed on to the team for, yet again, a job well done by all.

We viewed a few homes. Blenheim were warm, welcoming, friendly and personable. It's not just a 'job', staff really care. Great rapport with residents and family alike. Managers make the home run well and efficiently. They are very welcoming and friendly and very approachable. Food is incredibly good. Residents seem to enjoy the food. Residents well cared for. Individual care important and adhered to.
Thank you for your very kind review, it will be shared with the team, as recognition is important. You are right, it is 'not just a job', carers don't work in social care for the money. It is really warming to know that you see that in the team. We pride ourselves on family values and individualised care.
Well-managed home. Care staff competent, caring and very friendly. Welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. Feels homely. Managers always available and friendly and approachable. Residents happy and looked well-kept.

Thank you for your kind review, this will be passed on to the team as always. It was particularly nice that the management of the home and how accessible we are got a mention. My deputy and I work very hard to keep Blenheim running smoothly, for our team and more importantly our residents. Great family support from you and thank you for working with us to make Blenheim the great home it is.
