About Fairhope

We are Fairhope, based in Wimborne, and we provide care in people's own homes across this part of Dorset. We support older people, including many living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Our reason for doing home care rather than anything else is simple. Home is where the routines make sense, where you know where everything is kept, and where you are still the one who decides. Support that keeps somebody there is usually worth more than support that moves them somewhere unfamiliar, and it is often less than people imagine. Every arrangement starts with a conversation in the person's own home. How does the day run now? What has become hard? What do you still want to do for yourself, and where would help genuinely help? From those answers we agree the visits, which might be one short call a day, several calls, or a longer stretch so that a family carer gets a proper break. We expect to revise the plan, because needs rarely hold still. For people living with dementia, familiarity does more good than anything else, so we work hard to send the same carers to the same homes. A carer who knows somebody well is also the first to notice when something has changed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are trying to work out what help would make a difference, ring us and we will talk it through with you honestly.
