An oasis of care and companionship at Bourne View

Set in a nature reserve, Bourne View brings new standards in comfort and sophistication for later-life in Dorset. With the perfect balance of the quiet natural surroundings and urban conveniences of Bournemouth and Poole, it’s a welcoming new purpose-built home, offering the highest quality residential and nursing care. Each element of our home has been carefully considered to create interior and exterior environments in which our residents can live with dignity, comfort and pride.

Bourne View is the latest home to be developed by the Colten Group based in Ringwood. We are a family-owned company with over 30 years operational experience in residential and nursing care. We design, develop and run the very highest quality care homes across the south of England.

Colten Care's Partnership with Langside School

We are proud of our partnership with our neighbour, Langside School. The school is run by a Dorset charity, Diverse Abilities, and specialises in educating children with multiple learning disabilities and complex medical needs. So far, we have contributed to a new sensory room and have given the exterior a bright and vibrant paint job. Recently, the school celebrated its 60th birthday, for which we held a fabulous evening at Bourne View to celebrate.
