We take pride in ensuring that with all of our types of care, our residents are well taken care of and that they always have the opportunity to live the life they want to. Two of the most important aspects of any care are ensuring the highest levels of dignity and privacy are being adhered to, and that’s something that we here at Oakdene Care Home take incredibly seriously.

We proudly offer residential care at our Dorset-based home. Here, residents can enjoy living in a community while receiving respectful and dignified care that is entirely tailored to their needs.

We are honoured to also be able to support residents with dementia care. We understand that those living with dementia require elements of specialised care, and so our staff are highly trained and certified to handle all aspects of dementia; our team is continually learning new skills, and expanding knowledge to ensure they are providing the finest care and support possible to each and every resident. We are also able to offer respite care; this service allows residents to rest and heal while also allowing caregivers and family members to unwind and shut off for a while.

With seven glorious miles of idyllic coastline, visitors are sure to find a number of surprising things to do in the beautiful coastal town of Bournemouth, all year round. Bournemouth is a coastal resort town in the area of Dorset. It is situated on the English south coast, equidistant from Dorchester and Southampton. Famed for its beautiful golden beaches, vibrant local culture and holiday-feel, this wonderful part of the South has something to offer everyone. The beach itself is rated as TripAdvisors number one top attraction in Bournemouth and is nicely summarised as simply, ‘a delight’. Nestled on Bournemouth pier, there are an abundance of things to do, no matter the weather. Activities include museums, galleries, amusement arcades, a climbing centre and beach-to-shore zip-wire, mini-golf, play parks, beach huts, and an oceanarium. Its beautiful sandy beach provides the ideal scene for visitors to take to their surfboard, kayak, or paddleboard and get straight out onto the peaceful open water. For those wanting to explore a lot of Bournemouth in a short space of time, the hop-on, hop-off bus and boat tour from City Sightseeing is ideal. For those who have more time to explore Bournemouth, we recommend adding the Jurrasic Coast to the itinerary; with 185 million years of history this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the prettiest areas of England. This is a hugely diverse landscape of geological importance as it is made up of rocks spanning some 185 million years of geological history, covering the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Poole

From basking on the famous Sandbanks Beach to learning a new watersport or discovering miles of walks and cycleways, Poole is packed with a wide variety of ways for our residents and their loved ones to spend the day. Visiting Sandbanks beach is an unmissable activity when visiting Poole; with miles of beautiful golden sand, sparkling Blue Flag waters, fantastic events and some of the best hotels, restaurants & watersports in the UK, it’s easy to see why it’s rated 4.5 out of 5 on TripAdvisor. For year-round adventures, we recommend exploring a stunning natural harbour, the largest in Europe, and discovering its eight unique islands and striking peninsula, wildlife and watersports. Just outside Poole Harbour is Poole Marine Conservation Area. The four square kilometers of sea bed features 10 different types of habitat and is home to more than 360 different marine species. You can also discover the treasures of Poole’s historic quayside. Poole Quay has been a major tourist attraction, initially for the world-leading Poole Pottery and its factory / visitor centre. It is also home to Sunseeker International, the flagship and dealership for new and pre-owned boats and yachts. In addition, there are plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, and traditional pubs along the Poole quayside, with seafood and traditional fish and chips aplenty. From here, you can take a harbour cruise, learn about the unique wildlife on Bird Boats and discover history and hidden gems on friendly guided tours. Ferries run to the National Trust Brownsea Island, Swanage and along the Wareham River.
