I cannot rate Southbourne Beach highly enough. My mother has been a resident for 4 months now and it is such a relief not to be worrying about her. She settled in really quickly, is well cared for in really comfortable surroundings, and there are always plenty of helpful smiling staff around when needed. The activities team put on a wide range of pursuits so residents have plenty to amuse them if they want to join in - or they can just sit and watch without being pressured. The whole care team deserve praise.

My experience has been pleasant and at the same time overpowering! I was at first very ill and confused with the badly broken arm, couldn't stand up and in great pain all over! Your excellent nursing staff have "sorted me out", and I can now start to relax and enjoy my "new home".

I have worked in the care sector for over 12 years now, joining Southbourne Beach in 2023. My journey in care began as a care assistant, this was a role I truly loved and quickly realised that the care sector was where I was meant to be. My passion for delivering high-quality care developed from my personal experiences of caring for family members and continues to grow, surrounded by compassionate and selfless colleagues. I have been fortunate enough to achieve further training and qualifications, allowing me to progress into managerial positions.
I have lived in the Dorset area for most of my life and I love being part of my local community with our residents and staff. I am incredibly proud to lead a special team at Southbourne Beach, where the needs of our residents are always the number one priority. Outside of my work, I enjoy regular exercise, travelling, sports and always seeking new experiences.

I have been part of this family since 2010. Caring is one of my passions in life and having a care background is a great addition to my role as it involves supporting all new prospective residents and their families through sometimes difficult, stressful and emotional decisions. My role is supported by a dedicated team who are passionate about delivering exceptional person-centred care. Nothing is more rewarding than making a positive contribution to the daily lives of each and every one of our residents.

I joined towards the end of 2020 and really enjoy my role here – it is very diversified and no two days are the same. Prior to joining I worked as a Senior Administrator in another nursing home and have a long history of PA and administration work. I really enjoy meeting the residents and their families and getting to know everyone.
On a personal note, I have lived in Christchurch for the past 20 years and continue to do so with my husband and two children. We love walking along the beach and visiting the local cafes for coffee and a naughty treat.

I have worked in dementia care for 16 years now, it has always been my passion, and I find it very rewarding.
As Dementia Care Manager it is my aim to ensure those living with dementia can live as independently as possible and experience high standards of daily living. I have a great team working alongside me to ensure that we achieve positive changes and continue improving our care delivery.

I started working here as a Catering Assistant in 2007. Since then I have taken on new tasks and responsibilities which lead to being promoted to the current position of Dining Services Coordinator. I am responsible for all aspects of delivering nutritionally balanced meals, including special diets and dietary needs. It is very rewarding to see residents having a great dining experience, from the meal they have to the service they receive in a restaurant-style dining room. It motivates me and my fantastic team to provide the best possible service for them every day.

Having studied and worked in performing arts for 15 years in London, I also gained experience in the hospitality industry organising events in Mayfair before moving to Bournemouth to work in sales and team management. For 3 years I worked in domiciliary optical care travelling around care homes on the south coast. This taught me a better understanding in dementia and vulnerable people. I joined the Concierge team in 2013 and worked my way up to lead concierge.
I love my job, the staff and all the characters we here (including the pets). I now look after a team of 7 concierges at Southbourne. Never a dull moment, we are the eyes, ears and heart of the community. The relationships I build with the residents and families are so special and I value listening and trying to solve any request or concerns they may have.

I have been part of the maintenance team at Southbourne Beach Care Home for five years and take great pride in helping to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for our residents and team. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and following AFC Bournemouth, both home and away. Having supported the club since my first match in 1970, I've experienced every high and low along the way! My wife and I also love travelling to Spain, and next year we'll be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary by taking our grandchildren on their very first overseas holiday.
