Mum has only recently moved in, and from the first day we went in the home has felt warm, welcoming and professionally run.
The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Meals professionally cooked and smell lovely, it's great to know mum has her appetite coming back.
I know how hard all
the staff work but it feels very calm and relaxed and family are welcome anytime.
Highly recommend Blenheim Care Home.

My mother in law has recently moved into Blenheim Care Home. The first thing you notice is how warm, friendly and welcoming the staff are, nothing is too much trouble. The atmosphere is relaxed but organised.
It's early days but she really seems to be settling in and that's down to the staff and
their 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.

Friendly and polite staff who are always willing to help!
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!

Our mum has just moved to Blenheim and it is early days but I would like to say that mum has been welcomed and made to feel at home in a very short period of time. She is happy, well cared for and well fed! It is a friendly and welcoming environment. The staff are excellent and the kindness and
attention they give to the residents is lovely to see.

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.

Fantastic team with a clear love for their residents and the service they provide.
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!

My mum was in Blenheim Care Home for a year before she passed away in January 2025,
In that time she was looked after very well, all the staff were extremely kind and caring towards her and nothing was to much trouble.
We just wanted to say a big thank you to the managers and all the staff we
will always be grateful to you for looking after our mum especially in the last weeks of her life ( you are all special people) If anyone is looking for a care home for their family then we can highly recommend Blenheim.

The management and staff are fantastic, I visit most days and see for myself how kind and caring they all are. It's always nice and calm, nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Always a smiling face and a happy place to be.

Patience, understanding and care were given to my husband for two weeks of respite care. His medication was given on time and correct dosage.
07 February 2024
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.
07 February 2024
From the first time we visited, staff have always been very friendly and welcoming and there is a nice atmosphere in the home. Residents always look well-presented and cared for. Drinks are readily available, both hot and cold, and residents are encouraged to eat and drink. Staff interact well with
residents and families, only downside is it would be nice to have an activity during the day for residents. I think this is being addressed.
07 February 2024
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.
24 January 2024
I would highly recommend Blenheim Care Home to anyone who needs care, support and opportunities for company. The residents are in a very safe environment and are able to live life to the best of their mental and physical abilities. The rooms are comfortable and kept spotlessly clean. The residents
are provided with well-balanced and varied meals. Their individual needs and preferences are also catered for. Besides showing care for the welfare of their residents, the wonderful staff also show kindness and provide support for family members when feeling upset. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

My parents came for respite in February because of a work colleague's recommendation. They were there for two weeks and were looked after very compassionately. When I wanted more respite, I didn't hesitate to go back to Blenheim Care Home.
Unfortunately, my father passed away after being admitted
to hospital but my mum has remained. The manager and all the staff look after residents very well and have the right balance of care whilst trying to keep their independence.

Mum moved into Blenheim Care Home recently after a 3-month stay in 2 different hospitals following a bad fall at home. She has mixed dementia but has always been adamant she did not want to go into a care home but she is settled, happy, stimulated and safe. The staff (and management) are all
fantastic. They are all wonderful with Mum and very welcoming and friendly with us as visitors. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The food is nutritious and varied, all home cooked and there is always plenty of water, squash, cups of tea on hand. Mum's room is clean and tidy and her laundry is all done for her too. Although they don't have an activities coordinator at present there are frequent visits by various singers which is fun and it is truly heartwarming to watch some of the residents dancing and everyone thoroughly enjoys it! Blenheim has a beautiful garden and the residents enjoy afternoons in the fresh air on a warm sunny day with a cuppa! Blenheim really does feel like home.

My mum was moved to Blenheim Care Home recently after being put in end-of-life care. Since she has been here in the last four weeks, she has started to eat again, three meals a day, is gaining weight, and now is able to get out of bed and spend time in the lounge with other residents. The next plan
is to get her walking again, which looks like it won't be long as she is already trying to stand. I can't thank the staff enough as I am sure if she stayed where she was, she wouldn't be here now, so thank you, everyone.
