About Manor

Ferndown Manor is a nursing home in Ferndown, Dorset. We care for adults who need qualified nursing support alongside help with everyday living, with registered nurses on duty at all hours so that clinical needs can be met in familiar surroundings. Most of the people who live with us are older and many are living with dementia. We build the day around the person as far as a rota allows. Mornings that are not rushed. Food somebody actually wants. Familiar music. Staff who can tell the difference between wanting company and wanting to be left in peace. For people living with dementia, the constants carry most of the weight, and we neither hurry nor correct. We also support people living with mental health conditions, working alongside community teams and families so that support stays joined up, and people with physical disabilities, where the right equipment and real respect for how somebody prefers to be helped make all the difference. Younger adults with nursing needs live here too. Respite stays are available, whether a family carer needs a planned break or somebody needs nursing support for a few weeks while regaining strength after illness. If you are considering the home for yourself or a relative, please arrange to visit. We will show you round and answer your questions honestly.
