About Bridgewater Care

Bridgewater Care provides care in people's own homes in Ferndown and the surrounding parts of Dorset. Staying at home is what most people want, and our job is to make that a safe and realistic option rather than a hopeful one. We support older adults with the things that have become harder: personal care, medication, meals, keeping the house in order and getting out when they choose to. We support people living with dementia, where a familiar face arriving at a familiar time is worth more than any activity we could organise. We work with people living with mental health conditions, where consistency and a relationship built over time count for a great deal, and with people who have physical disabilities, helping with washing, dressing, mobility and getting about. We support people with a visual or hearing impairment, adapting how we announce ourselves, speak and explain what we are doing, and younger adults, whose support is planned around work, study, family and independence. We try to send the same small group of care workers to each person, partly because nobody wants to explain themselves afresh every week, and partly because familiar staff notice changes before anyone else does. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do call us and ask whatever you need to ask.
