About
Highgrove Care Home is a residential home in Wimborne, Dorset, with 21 registered beds. It occupies a country house set in mature, well-kept gardens that overlook extensive countryside, and it sits between Wimborne and Ferndown, just north of Bournemouth, while remaining tucked away from the main roads. The home offers lounge and dining areas, private grounds and a patio, and each bedroom is attractively furnished with an en suite. Residents can take part in a varied programme of communal activities, or spend their time as they choose, and visiting hairdressers, a chiropodist, a reflexologist, an optician, a dentist and a beautician attend the home. Meals are traditional and well balanced, with options for individual needs. The Care Quality Commission rated Highgrove Good overall in its 2024 report, with Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
