Testimonial

How likely would you recommend? Extremely Likely
My aunt has been a resident of Wolfeton Manor for over a year. She is happy there and says she is well looked after. The staff provide the support she needs; they are kind and treat her with dignity. She enjoys the meals which are served in the very pleasant dining room or in her own room, if she prefers. She has her own pictures, ornaments and some furniture, which give her pleasure. She likes sitting in the lounge looking out on the extensive garden. She joins in some activities and clearly is given choices. Relatives are always made welcome.
A fantastic electronic care management system.

Person Centred Care

For many care homes, writing comprehensive care plans, keeping them up to date, and communicated with residents’ families can be a time consuming task for care staff. As it is essential, we looked into how we can continue to provide our high level of care whilst ensuring all administration and care planning is kept up to date.

We use Person Centred Software, a fantastic electronic care management system to alleviate pressure on care staff, make documenting care plans quicker and ensure all residents are safe, comfortable and happy.

Life at our retirement home in Dorchester

We want residents to feel as comfortable as possible from the outset and do everything we can to make new residents feel welcome. We don’t believe in enforcing curfews; instead, we foster independence and the ability to live as you would at home. This means personalising your room to your liking, being involved in your own care plan and inviting family and friends to visit whenever suits you.

In order to create a stimulating atmosphere at Wolfeton Manor, we also organise regular fun activities that residents can choose to take part in. These range from puzzles, to arts and crafts, to animal visits, so there’s certain to be something to suit everyone’s tastes.

Accommodation options

Our retirement home has multiple options when it comes to accommodation, including single and double rooms with en-suite facilities and our unique care suites, featuring a bedroom, en-suite bathroom and shower, lounge area, dining area and kitchenette.

Our care suites are ideal for those looking for that extra bit of independent living but would appreciate the added security of living on our site and with 24/7 access to our carers. Whichever accommodation option is chosen, residents are all welcome to take part in our activities equally and will benefit from our home cooked meals, which can be enjoyed in our communal dining area or in the privacy of their own room.

We understand that choosing the right retirement home in Dorchester for your loved one can be a challenge.
