About Us

We at Dorset Supported Living are proud to provide compassionate home care across Poole and the wider Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area, supporting people to live well and independently in the place they know best: their own home.

Based in the BH postcode area on the beautiful South West coast, our team works throughout local communities in Poole, reaching residents wherever they call home. Whether that is a long established family house, a flat in town, or supported accommodation, we bring our care directly to the doorstep, ensuring familiar surroundings remain at the heart of every person's daily life. Poole offers a welcoming coastal setting, and we feel privileged to support people within such a vibrant community.

Our care reflects the diverse needs of the people we support. We specialise in older person care and dementia care, offering gentle, person centred support for those navigating memory loss or the changes that can come with age. For younger adults and individuals living with a learning disability or autism, we focus on building confidence, encouraging independence, and supporting meaningful daily routines. We also provide thoughtful care for people with mental health needs, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments, tailoring every visit to the individual rather than the diagnosis.

In practice, this means our team takes time to understand each person we support, their history, their preferences, their goals, and the small details that make a day feel right. Families can expect open communication, consistent faces wherever possible, and a flexible approach that adapts as needs change. We believe good home care is about more than tasks completed; it is about preserving dignity, nurturing relationships, and creating moments of genuine connection.

We are pleased to hold an overall Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, with an Outstanding rating in the Responsive domain. That Outstanding recognition reflects something we hold dear: the ability to listen carefully, respond promptly, and shape care around the changing wishes and circumstances of each person we support. Alongside Good ratings for Safe, Effective, Caring and Well led, this independent assessment offers families reassurance that the care we deliver meets high standards across every area of practice.

Choosing care for someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that responsibility. If you are exploring home care in Poole or the surrounding area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. We would be delighted to talk through your situation, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about the next step, whatever that may look like for your family.
