About Oakdene Nursing Home

Oakdene Nursing Home is in Wimborne, Dorset. We provide nursing care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we take respite bookings for people who need a stay of a few weeks rather than a permanent place. Having qualified nurses on duty around the clock means we can look after people whose health needs are considerable and manage periods of illness here rather than through repeated hospital admissions. Our care staff work alongside them and know the people living here well enough to notice when somebody is not their usual self. For people living with dementia, most of what helps is steadiness. Familiar faces, a predictable shape to the day, calm surroundings and time given rather than rushed. We learn about people's earlier lives from them and from their families, because knowing who somebody has been changes how you talk with them now. We want to be straightforward about our regulator rather than leave you to find it elsewhere. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission found that we require improvement overall. We have an action plan covering the points raised, we are working through it with the whole team, and we will talk any family through what was found, what has changed and what is still in progress. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour. Please come and see the home and ask us whatever you need to.
