About Us

We at Meyrick Cottage are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in the heart of Bournemouth, where personalised support meets a genuine sense of belonging. Nestled within the vibrant coastal community of Bournemouth, our home provides a nurturing environment for adults with a range of care needs.

Located in the BH postcode area, our home benefits from the gentle pace and friendly atmosphere that Bournemouth is known for. Residents enjoy the comforts of a homely setting whilst remaining connected to the wider community, with the natural beauty of the Dorset coastline and the amenities of the town within easy reach. Our environment has been thoughtfully arranged to feel less like an institution and more like a true home, where each resident can settle, relax, and be themselves.

Our specialisms reflect the diverse and individual nature of the people we care for. We provide residential care for adults living with learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, and physical disabilities, and we warmly welcome younger adults into our community. We also offer respite care, providing a valuable option for families and regular carers who need short term support, whether planned in advance or arranged during a period of change. In practice, this means our team takes time to understand each resident as a whole person, learning their preferences, routines, communication styles, and aspirations. We support individuals to build confidence, develop independence where possible, maintain meaningful relationships, and engage in activities that bring them joy and purpose. For families, this translates into peace of mind, knowing their loved one is understood, respected, and encouraged to live life on their own terms.

Following our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection on 20 August 2025, Meyrick Cottage was rated Good overall, with Good ratings across all five key domains of Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This consistent recognition reflects the dedication of our team and the quality of daily life we work hard to provide. It offers reassurance to families that the care their loved one receives meets the standards expected by the regulator, and that our home is led thoughtfully and operates with the wellbeing of residents at its heart.

Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the emotions that come with it. If you are exploring options for a loved one who may benefit from residential support, or considering respite care during a busy or challenging period, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch to learn more about life at Meyrick Cottage and how we can support your family with warmth, understanding, and genuine care.
