About Us

Highview Residential Home is in Bournemouth, providing residential care for older people who need support close at hand. We are not a large place and we do not run like one, so the kitchen, the lounge and the garden are used much as they would be in any household.

Supporting residents living with dementia is a substantial part of our work, and we also support people managing mental health conditions. In both cases the approach starts with knowing the person properly: their history, their habits, what settles them and what does not. Routines are kept familiar, changes explained before they happen, and distress treated as something with a cause rather than as behaviour to be managed.

Our team helps with personal care, medication, mobility and meals, and equally with the things that make a day worth having: conversation, music, a walk outside, or simply peace when that is what somebody wants. Relatives are welcome whenever they can come.

Respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good.
