Signature House

The home, although situated in a busy part of Dorchester (which makes it easy for visitors to find), is tranquil and the lovely garden is a bonus and is well used when weather and current covid restrictions allow.

My sister-in-law has been in Signature House for 2 years now with dementia. Myself and her 2 nephews are very pleased with her care. She is looked after very well. The staff are lovely, dedicated and caring and they spend a lot of time with her. We are very pleased with her care it's a lovely home.

My 98-year-old mother has resided at Signature House since February 2019. Her care since that time has been amazing. The staff are lovely and have looked after her brilliantly particularly during the last few difficult months.

I look forward to a time when things return to normal and I can resume regular visits to see not only her but the lovely staff.

Very professional, clean, lovely staff and cares, modern facilties. Lovely garden for residents. very convenient for town/transport.

We are very pleased with the care that Mum is receiving at Signature House. She is very happy and settled.

My dear mum was in Signature House for many years before her death in September 2019 and was looked after so well by everyone there. It's a fantastic place and the care levels are wonderful, it gave me great comfort not living on the doorstep to know that she was being so well looked after and cared for by everyone. I would not hesitate to recommend it, it's a special place staffed by very special people can't thank them enough for all they did for my mum over the years.

Lots of thought and hard work went into recent fete to make it a truly happy event for the residents, accommodating all their complex needs. Money raised goes to enhancing services not covered by fees.

My husband was at Signature House for over 3 years. The nurses and carers always treated him in a friendly, cheerful and encouraging way. He was shown patience and understanding when he was slow in making choices or was reluctant to co-operate. All the other members of staff always engaged with him when passing by which I am sure helped him through the long days. He enjoyed several day trips organised by the home, especially the boat trips. The 'end of life' care was excellent and we were both treated with great sensitivity and compassion.

A wonderful, compassionate, caring home which is extremely well run, managed and facilitated.

My dad was treated with compassion and dignity from the moment he moved into Signature House. There is a unique, warm, caring feeling there but most of all we knew Dad was looked after extremely well. Can’t praise the staff enough. Thank you all.

For two years, my husband lived in the independent living apartments attached to this excellent care home. During this time, he was supported by a full range of staff, from the maintenance men, home manager and care staff. He opted to receive daily visits from a carer from the nursing home so that when it was necessary for him to receive respite care within the nursing home, he knew the staff and they fully understood his needs. When he was suddenly taken seriously ill, he was immediately moved into the nursing home which prevented a move to an acute hospital. He would have hated to be in the hospital and the staff at Signature House were able to provide superb personalised end of life care. The facilities in the nursing home are excellent with en-suite wet rooms and hoist facilities. The menu is varied and residents and visitors are well looked after.

My husband came to Signature House in August 2017, extremely poorly after four months in hospital. He was received and nursed with gentle, thoughtful care and great kindness. His condition stabilised and he was peaceful, enjoying meals, his friendliness and love of people made the sadness and frustration of immobility and early dementia more bearable. He was affirmed and the skill of carers was an inspiration.

Thank you to all staff at Signature House for your unending patience and dedication doing one of the most difficult jobs on earth.

The care and attention my Mother-in-law received was first class. The staff all went beyond their call of duty. I can only commend and thank them for everything they did in very difficult circumstances.

She seems content with her residence at the home and I am satisfied that she is well cared for.

My husband went into this home the end of August, having been in hospital. He has dementia and the home has been fantastic. They have made him comfortable and safe. The staff are lovely and caring people. I feel able now to go away for weekends to see my daughter, knowing he is being well cared for, unlike the place he was in before. The manager is very approachable too, you feel you can talk to her and you are listened to. I feel very lucky he's in Signature House.

My mum spent the last nine months of her life in Signature House. ALL the staff from the cleaners, the maintenace team, the laundry team, the carers, the nurses, the reception staff and the management made my mums stay very pleasant in a homely environment.

Nothing was to much trouble for the staff. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and kept us informed as to mums well being. In mums final days, she was treated with dignity and sympathy by all the staff. I cannot praise this home enough.

We have had experience of two other local care homes and neither could match up to signature house.

I could not have looked after my husband by myself without the facilities provided by Signature Nursing home. I am very grateful to all the staff, thank you all so very much.

The maintenance and décor of the building is great and the garden is a very positive feature. Activities for residents are also a positive and welcomed facility. Parking is very limited at the home and needs addressing. Ideal location for residents to facilitate local amenities.
