Blenheim Care Home in Bournemouth provides high-quality, affordable residential, dementia and respite care in a safe and homely environment. Situated on a quiet residential road just outside Bournemouth city centre, our home is the ideal location for beach lovers who still enjoy a bustling town.
Our home boasts lovely interiors, cosy rooms, spacious common areas, and intimate lounges. We are fortunate to have two beautiful gardens which has its very own seating areas. Our home provides 24-hour a day tailored care in a home-from-home setting, which you are encouraged to personalise and make your own. This helps our care team understand what’s important to you.
Social activities
We pick and choose activities enjoy from a long list of ideas from pottery and bingo to trips out to the garden centre and the big Marks and Spencer store at Castlepoint Shopping Centre.
At Blenheim, we love it when animals come to visit, including bearded dragons, chinchilla, rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs.
We use one of our smaller lounges which is a good spot for quieter activities and reminiscing. We’ve gathered lots of objects to stimulate memories and conversations, including books, records, knitting patterns, tea sets, old magazines and Royal Family memorabilia.
We are lucky enough to have two gardens here which you can relax and watch the wildlife in. If you have an interest, you can get involved in gardening, planting up hanging baskets and filling the bird feeders.
Dining
At Blenheim Care Home you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sources wherever possible.
Meals are served in our superb dining rooms or our relaxing conservatory, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Bedrooms
There are 27 bedrooms for people living at at Blenheim Care Home, four of which are double rooms and can accommodate couples.
All but one of our bedrooms has an en-suite toilet and vanity unit. One bedroom has an en-suite wet room and one an en-suite bathroom. All our rooms have accessible bathrooms nearby.
Many of the bedrooms look out onto the garden, and most of our ground-floor bedrooms have direct garden access.

This is the first home Mum has gone into. My first contact regarding my worries about Mum was with the Deputy Manager. Instantly I became less worried. She put my mind at rest on so many issues and questions I had. I found her to be very competent with her knowledge and skills showing a great deal of experience she has. The Deputy Manager always had time for my questions and was extremely efficient with feedback. Having this kind of approachable personality wanting to put my and my family’s mind at rest. Also, the carers are well-mannered and respectable with the residents.

Mum was a resident of Rochester Care Home for nearly 6 years. I cannot thank the manager and her wonderful team enough for all they did for her while she was there. She could not have been in a better place for the last years of her life. As a family, we have got to know the staff as dear friends who have always greeted us with a cheery smile and ‘gone that extra mile’ for all involved. Mum spent the last two weeks of her life receiving palliative care. She was treated with dignity and compassion. My family have felt very supported by the manager and her staff during this difficult time for which we are truly thankful. We cannot praise Rochester Care Home enough for the work they do.

As soon as I stepped inside the Nursing Home I sensed a friendly caring atmosphere, and I knew that my husband would be well looked after and in safe hands. The staff could not be more professional and helpful to both my husband and myself and nothing too much bother for them. Every resident has their own room and is encouraged to bring personal belongings to make it their home. I can relax knowing that my husband is being cared for 24/7.

My family member lived at the care home for a number of years, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done, as a family, without them. They were so supportive of our family as well as providing above and beyond care to my family member. I will always recommend this wonderful home to anyone!

My grandad has been a resident for three weeks and the positive change in his mental health and wellbeing has been exponential. He feels safe and cared for and I am secure in the fact he is receiving quality care. The staff have been supportive and what could have been a stressful transition has in fact been surprisingly easy. I am grateful to all staff and residents who have made this more a pleasure for my grandad.

My mum has been a resident for the last 2 and a bit years and during that time I have seen a huge improvement in her overall physical health. She has actually put weight on as she is getting 3 good meals a day unlike when she was living on her own, and she excepts help now when there’s a medical issue and let’s the staff get her the help that is needed medically. Before she went in she would refuse any intervention. The accommodation is very nice, the rooms are adequate for her needs, the garden area is very nice, and she has made friends. The staff are always professional and caring and residents are treated with the utmost dignity, the food is good, and plenty of it. A massive thank you to ALL the staff.

Frequently asked questions
Funding may be available from your local authority. Firstly, they will check how much help and what kind of care you need: this is the needs assessment. Following on from that, the free financial assessment calculates the total cost of care and how much you’ll need to contribute.
If you don’t want a financial assessment you can choose to pay for your care home yourself – this is called self-funding.
Here at Blenheim we offer tailored 24-hour a day respite care that allows you to continue living life your way with as much support you may need from our care team.
This could be a one-off stay, to give a regular family carer a much-needed break, or a regular arrangement to give you variety in your care. Our personalised care can last as long as you need it to and can start within 24-hours.
Our bespoke care and support is available for a single weekly fee. That includes care, accommodation, laundry, meals, housekeeping, social outings and more.
