As a family, we cannot express highly enough about the care, compassion and professionalism that our beloved father received at Yarnley House. Although our Dad was only a resident for the last 2 weeks of his life, after being admitted for his end of life care, we were instantly welcomed and made to
feel, as a whole family, at home and also looked after, by the warm and incredibly friendly family of staff. As a registered nurse myself, I recognise good care, not only from a clean environmental aspect, but also from a high standard of care delivery, ensuring Dad was comfortable and pain free, with all of his needs constantly reviewed and managed. At an extremely distressing time for us as a family, seeing Dad so well looked after and so genuinely loved and cared for by some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered, was of extreme comfort for us during our grief process, knowing that everything that needed to be done, was done to the highest standards. We cannot thank you enough

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Yarnley House for 16 months now. She moved from a home which was a little dated.
This home is a breath of fresh air. The whole building is light, spacious and you get a warm welcome from everyone.
The staff are very professional, friendly and caring.
I
would recommend this Care Home to anyone.

I cannot speak highly enough about Yarnley House. From the moment you walk through the doors, there's a genuine sense of warmth, compassion, and professionalism that immediately puts both residents and their families at ease.
The staff are truly exceptional-kind, attentive, and always willing to
go the extra mile, treating every resident with dignity and respect, taking the time to understand individual needs and preferences. It's clear that caregiving here isn't just a job; it's something they deeply care about.
Yarnley House is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to feel like a real home rather than an institution. There are always engaging activities taking place, encouraging social interaction, creativity, and joy. It's wonderful to see residents smiling, laughing, and genuinely enjoying their days.
Communication with families is excellent, with regular updates and an open, reassuring approach that builds trust and confidence. Knowing your loved one is safe, happy,

My Mum has been a resident at Yarnley House Care Home since November 2024. We are so fortunate to have this on our doorstep and from the moment we walked in to view the home we knew this was going to be a fantastic place for her to live. We had moved her from another home and because Yarnley House
was a brand new custom built care home we found the rooms, which all have en-suite wet rooms, facilities and outside areas to be far superior.
All the staff are caring and supportive, not only to the residents, but also to any friends and family members who visit. At present Mum has capacity & is able to voice her concerns, but I feel extremely confident that should things change for her she will be treated with the upmost care & consideration.

My mum has now been at Yarnley House for 3 months and she truely regards this as her home. We have not seen her so happy since her Husband passed.
The facilities are first class and the staff are both professional and friendly. Nothing is to much trouble for them and mum gets the level of support
and care she deserves in her later years.
Having looked around a number of homes at the end of 2025, I must say Yarnley House stands head and shoulders above all the ones we visited in Dorset and Hampshire.
A special shout out to the activities team sho make the social life of Yarnley so much fun for the residence.

Everytime we visit my grandmother in law we are always greates with smiles and they allow my children to sign in on their sheet and help them get things in the right order! We are always remembered too which is nice as I know we don't go often. We love how they interact with our family member and
how they encourage them to get involved. She is doing really well there and gets involved with some of the activities that go on. It's got such a warm feeling.
31 March 2026
I am really pleased with the care my Nanna gets. She is well looked after, encouraged to be active and the staff are always welcoming and friendly when I've been visiting. The room is comfortable and a good size with all she needs.
18 March 2026
We have just settled my mum into Yarnley House for respite care and have been impressed by the homely feel and the high level of care she has received since leaving hospital. It is very reassuring to see staff who understand her needs.
30 June 2025
At last I can relax and know my mum, who has dementia, is receiving the best possible care for her. It has been a difficult few years finding the right home for my mum as she can be challenging. The staff have gradually built a trusting, caring and fun rapport with her which she is responding to
so well. She is happier and healthier than she has been for a long time. Nothing is perfect in this kind of environment because of the requirement to cater for so many different needs but I believe this is as good as it could be. It is new and in the process of fully establishing itself but I couldn't be more happy. There is a lack of activities but I believe this is being addressed.
25 June 2025
I visited my sister in law and her husband with my husband + had the use of the family room for lunch. My sister in law requires assistance in going from her wheelchair to be dining room chair and we had too assistance helping her to go from the wheelchair to the dining room chair and are helping
her to eat.
01 May 2025
I was in this care home for 2 weeks respite care following a hip operation. In this time I received excellent nursing care and attention.
I commend ALL the staff on their professionalism in every field.
Yarnley House is a very happy place to be a resident in and if I ever have to go back I would
have no hesitation in doing so.
23 April 2025
We would like to a big thankyou to all the staff who looked after our mum. She has been well looked after and her room was always clean and tidy and she enjoyed her food as it is all cooked on site. Mum also enjoyed chatting to the other residents and she made some friends. I chose the home as it
is close to her home and not far for my sister to visit. While in the home she was able to have her hair done by a local lady who did a very nice cut and blow dry. I would highly recommend this home and would gladly have mum stay there again. The bedrooms are very clean with an on suite. Nothing was to much trouble.
16 April 2025
Our mother settled into Yarnley House very quickly and has been very settled and content there ever since. Each member of staff has shown the highest level of care towards her and done their utmost to make her happy and comfortable.
28 January 2025
The care at Yarnley House has been exceptionally good. My dad has been cared for extremely well, and with dignity and kindness. All of the staff, including nurses, carers, cleaners, administrators, caterers, are very competent, sensitive and responsive, and there is a nice atmosphere in the home.
The quality and upkeep of the building is first-rate - the home is very new and is equipped with very high-quality facilities, furnishings, etc. Overall, the experience has been very good, which has been a great comfort at a difficult time.
24 January 2025
Our mother moved into Yarnley House on Monday 30th December. This is her, and our, first experience of residential care. Although 102, living with Dementia and quite frail, she is fiercely independent and we were not anticipating such contented reactions as she has shown to the staff's care, not to
mention the home's facilities and other residents, all of which have been positive. So a huge thank you to all involved, from designers to on-the-ground staff. It's a great place, well done.
17 December 2024
I have visited literally hundreds of care homes in my career as a social worker and as a relative of elderly people. I can put my hand on my heart and say this is the best home I have ever come across. My Uncle and Aunt moved in a couple of months ago and are having a first-class experience.
The
establishment is modern, spotlessly clean, light, and airy, and gives the impression of a top hotel. The food is home-cooked, has lots of choices, and is freshly made. All the staff have been courteous, and helpful and go the extra mile to meet my Uncle's and Aunts needs. I cannot praise the efficiency of this home enough.
29 November 2024
Client has only been here a few days but staff have been very welcoming and attentive. Food has been excellent. Home scrupulously clean!

A lovely new care home in Hightown, Ringwood.
The home is of a very high standard with great facilities.
We have found the staff extremely kind and caring they go out of their way to make the residents feel at home.
I would highly recommend a viewing of Yarnley House.
07 November 2024
Moving relatives into a care home is a traumatic time, but the staff at Yarnley House made the upheaval much easier. Management, receptionists, nursing and of course caring staff were marvellous at putting us all at ease. Nothing was too much trouble.
This newly purpose-built home is special.
Spacious and light with a bistro, cinema, library and craft rooms.
The care is faultless, backed by super catering, laundry, a gardener and handyman etc. Excellent! High recommended.
