CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?

It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. Most homes in Dorset are smaller: the median there is 31 beds.
