Welcome to The Aldbury Dedicated Dementia Care Home in Poole, Dorset
At The Aldbury, we believe great dementia care starts with knowing the person, their story, their daily rhythms, the little details that bring comfort and connection.
Families tell us they chose The Aldbury not just for our experience, but because it felt right. Kind. Safe. Cheerful. The kind of place where residents are known, not just cared for.
Led by Home Manager Martin Corrigan and rated Good by the CQC, our close-knit team includes experienced nurses and dedicated carers who bring warmth, skill and stability. The faces you meet are the ones who’ll be here, day after day.
Whether your loved one needs full nursing support, companionship, or a short respite stay, every care plan is shaped around who they are, and what makes them feel safe, seen, and at ease.
Inside our dementia-friendly home in Poole, you’ll find memory-led spaces, sensory gardens, and a daily rhythm of music, movement and quiet moments. It’s not just about activities, it’s about life continuing in a way that feels meaningful.
