About
Wimborne Manor is a purpose-built care home in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, on the edge of the New Forest and close to the south coast. It has 67 ensuite bedrooms and provides care around the clock. The home offers residential, dementia, nursing, respite, palliative and end of life care.
The building spans four levels: a basement, ground floor, first floor and second floor. Bedrooms are grouped into small clusters, each with its own lounge or dining room, quiet room and assisted bathroom, which the home says creates a more intimate community. Shared facilities include a private dining room for family occasions with chef-prepared menus, a cinema room with a large screen, and a hair and beauty salon offering hairdressing and beauty treatments.
