Our Care Services

Every person’s care needs are unique, which is why we take time to understand not just what support each Resident needs, but how they prefer to receive it.
Our purpose-built home features three specially designed floors, each providing distinct levels of care and support.

On-site Physiotherapy

We understand that maintaining mobility and independence is of the utmost importance for our Residents’ wellbeing. For this reason, Dearbourne Manor has an on-site physiotherapist, meaning that Dearbourne Manor’s Residents benefit from their input free-of-charge. The physiotherapist carries out an initial assessment on mobility, and subsequent mobility care plan reviews thereafter.

Our Residents can also opt to purchase an intensive Premium Physiotherapy Package to work on a targeted area. We know that starting a new service can be daunting, especially when it is focused on physical activity. If you are unsure if the Premium Physiotherapy Package is for you, you can request a free Taster Week by speaking with the Home Manager. More details on our Premium Physiotherapy Packages can be found here.

What Our Residents Say

Real Stories, Real People

My beloved husband has been a resident for over a year. At all times, he has received Gold Standard Care, and we, as a family, received the same respect from all the amazing caring staff at Dearbourne Manor. The team truly do understand his needs not only from a nursing perspective but from the perspective of the person who is an individual living with dementia. The atmosphere is always calm, activities are available, amazing cuisine, smiling staff, constant updates on care and excellent communication.

Wife of Resident 8 April 2025

My parents have both been here for a while - since opening. They have received the best care I could ever hoped for. The staff are kind and respectful and do an amazing job. I have nothing but a huge appreciation for them all for how they care for my parents. We, as a family, could not wish for them to be in a better place. So grateful. We are all so pleased to know they are safe and looked after and also such wonderful surroundings. Thank you all.

Daughter of Resident 16 November 2023

I've had a very good experience with the care home. Any questions I've asked have always been answered honestly. Also any concerns I've had about my husband's care have always been acted upon, e.g. doctor's visits etc. The staff have always been very kind and caring.

Wife of Resident 10 November 2023

The staff are always very welcoming and so lovely with Dad, which has helped him to settle in really well. His room and ensuite are a generous size so it is easy for Dad to move around. He is safe and being looked after which is very reassuring for us as a family. The food is lovely and Dad is enjoying the variety it has to offer. Dad being happy and cared for is our main priority and we are so pleased that we chose Dearbourne.
