The care we provide
Residential Care
If you are finding aspects of day-to-day life at home difficult, our Bournemouth residential care home allows you to be independent for longer within a comforting, welcoming environment. We take pride in tailoring our care plans to suit you or your loved ones needs; offering as much or as little care as needed.
Nursing Care
We offer specialist nursing care from qualified nurses, who are on-hand 24 hours a day to support to you, or your loved one. Our nurses are fully supported by a team of care assistants to ensure personal care is delivered accordingly to every person’s individual care plan and needs.
Dementia Care
Our purpose-built Alzheimer’s care home in Bournemouth offers dementia friendly rooms and facilities, including the layout of the building, sensitive décor and interior design to provide a familiar and safe environment. Our nurses take time to get to know each resident, helping to design a care plan to suit their individual needs and preferences.

If you or your loved one require palliative care in Bournemouth, we are here to support you at every step of the way. When creating a care or end of life plan, we take all of your wishes and preferences into account. We always ensure you or your loved one are cared for with respect and dignity, whilst managing pain and other afflicting symptoms.

Meet the Home Manager
Sue Lanceley
Sue has been home manager at Great Oaks since December, and is committed to using her award-winning experience in dementia care to support the team to deliver the best possible care to our residents.
Sue is originally from Cheshire, and trained as a nurse there. Having moved to Pembrokeshire in Wales, she began her career as a district nurse and discovered a passion for elderly care whilst in that role. During this time she gained her NVQ qualification, and having moved into the care sector, became a deputy home manager. In 2011 Sue took on her first home manager role so now has over 10 years experience in this position. Sue chose to specialise in dementia care, and was delighted (and very proud) to win the Leadership and Management Gold Award in the Wales Care Awards.
With her mother and siblings living in Dorset, like many of us, the pandemic made Sue want to be closer to them, so Sue made the move to the south coast. Although she’s settled here now, she loves going back to Wales regularly to see her grown up children and her grandchildren there.
