Our Home

Purpose-built and dedicated to the needs of people living with dementia, The Aldbury has a strong reputation for helping residents with even the most demanding of dementia conditions to live well. Close to Poole, an area renowned for offering a busy retirement life, The Aldbury's belief in enabling activity makes it a happy and cheerful place to be, with a strong sense of community and togetherness. 

The home is part of Colten Care, an independent and family-run company determined to set the highest standards in all aspects of care for the elderly. With our simple, all-inclusive pricing structure, there are no hidden extras or non-refundable deposits.

Why you should only consider a care home dedicated to dementia:

• Our entire team, including the professional nurses, benefit from extensive and specific dementia training
• In our home, dementia is 'normal' and all individuals are respected
• The companionship, activities and trips-out programme is designed specifically around those living with dementia
• The interior and exterior environments have been carefully designed to remove the anxieties created by 'non-dementia friendly' environments

Fiona Pritchard is our new Music and Arts Partner, a role we introduced in February 2018 to help support our homes with their music and arts activities.

Whether it be through storytelling, singing, colour therapy, or even performing in our very own band, we are now able to ensure each resident has the opportunity to explore the many ways in which music and arts can have a positive impact upon their lives and enrich their wellbeing. The Aldbury band is a firm favourite, and provides an opportunity for residents, staff and relatives to come together to sing and make music. There are lots of instruments to try, sounds to explore, emotions to express and smiles to be made in these uplifting and fulfilling sessions.
