Waterloo Care Home is a real home for life near the lovely market town of Wimborne, in Dorset., providing affordable residential, dementia and respite care.
Staff have the specialist training and experience to care for people with mixed dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson’s, mental health issues and historic brain injury.
There are 36 single bedrooms, across the ground floor and the first floor. The first floor is fully accessible, by stairs or a lift. All rooms have en-suites or washbasins in the room. The rooms without en-suites have accessible bathrooms nearby.
Some first-floor rooms have balconies, with space for a table and chairs, pots and a birdfeeder. Some of the ground-floor bedrooms have patio doors which open out onto the garden.
Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with their own photos and furniture. Personal possessions help residents feel at home and provide extra stimulation and time for reminiscence.
Each bedroom’s front door is a different colour and style, with its own number, door knocker and letterbox, which makes it more recognisable.
Waterloo boasts a three-acre garden, with a backdrop of trees beyond. It’s enclosed and safe and there’s plenty of space to sit out on the patio or to do a bit of gardening.

It is a very busy place, often quite loud in the lounge area with limited seating for visitors. I often move chairs about so we can sit near the person we're visiting, which seems to be ok!
Overall the level of care has been good, but recent changes including several members of staff leaving appear to place extra work loads on existing staff resulting in the loss of one to one care to residents.

My mum has been here a year now. She gets excellent care. The staff are all amazing, friendly, and helpful. Very approachable. Day trips out and lots of activities within. Mum is happy there and safe. We are always welcome when visiting and always kept in contact or updated on any issues.

I was visiting my sister when the activities lady was asking some of the residents if they wished to go on the annual harbour trip the following day. She would, in my opinion, benefit from joining such an event as in our childhood days our father had his own boat moored at Kinston upon Thames, plus at that time we had many holidays on the Norfolk Broads. As usual, she was very hesitant to agree but as I was there I encouraged her to go as I thought she would very much enjoy the outing. I was delighted to know that she did indeed go and really enjoyed the event. Well done to all the staff in their efforts to actually get her on the boat.
Many thanks for our kind review, it was a good trip out and enjoyed by all that ventured out.

The redeeming feature of Waterloo Care Home is in its title! It is homely - a home-from-home for its residents. The food is good and the staff note the residents' preferences, likes and dislikes with the excellent kitchen staff striving to meet individual requirements. The staff are professional in their approach to their work but, above all, they are kind and caring and attentive. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home for someone who needs to be cared for with love and devotion.
Thank you for your heartfelt review, we are lucky to have kind and supportive families as part of Waterloo.
Staff are extremely caring - nothing is too much trouble for them to ensure Mum is happy and content. The manager and senior staff are always on hand to support me and mum. Mum's room is bright and comfortable and is kept clean - the cleaners are extremely hard working as well.

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, we are lucky to have such lovely residents and families.
Good service provided by all, carers seem truly interested in the residents and their needs. Rooms could be a little less sticky but overall are clean I don't worry about Mom knowing she is in good hands.

Waterloo Care Home has been great for Mum, she is looking and feeling so much better since she moved in 4 months ago. The food is good, the staff are really approachable and friendly and I feel confident that Mum is being looked after well.

My mother has been at Waterloo Care Home for six months now, and although she has deteriorated mentally, all the staff are marvellous with her. It doesn't matter how small the problem is; I can always receive advice and help.

Thank you for your review of Waterloo Care Home; the whole team appreciates your feedback.
All the staff are caring, professional, kind and work really well as a team. This includes the carers, the office staff, the catering staff, the cleaners and the maintenance staff. I can't speak too highly of all of them. The activities are brilliant and really enhance the resident's experience.

A big thank you to the manager and her team for looking after my dad during his time at Waterloo Care Home which sadly came to an end on May 18th, everyone I met during the year seemed courteous and very dedicated while working under the terrible pressure of Covid. Any issues I had or felt Dad had were addressed by the manager very quickly, I can't name names but a big thank you to the activities coordinator who put together a book of photos for me showing the things Dad had got up to lovely memories to keep.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure and privilege to be able to provide care for such a lovely gentleman. The team, and I, are very grateful for your kind words.
The manager and her team have been really helpful with help around my grandma's stay. Prompt responses and Nan is happy and content - she feels safe and looked after.
