At Seabourne House in Bournemouth, we’ve gone all the way to make sure that our facilities enable us to look after those in our care as effectively as possible. From ensuring that residents eat healthy, nutritious meals to providing them with clean clothes and bedding, your loved ones will want for nothing.
Our housekeeping team work hard to ensure residents’ clothes and bedding are constantly kept clean in line with the strict requirements set out by leading care bodies.
Using a special laundry detergent called OTEX, we make sure that all micro-organisms including bacteria, yeast, fungus, moulds and viruses are irradiated in every wash; meaning the environment at Seabourne House is kept as hygienic as possible.
All clothing is tagged with identifiable buttons, so we recognise which garments belong to whom. Once clean and dry, all washing is ironed and put away by our support team.
Please note that all dry cleaning is carried out by an external company upon request. The cost of dry cleaning isn’t included in the fees.
Going to the hair salon is one of life’s simple pleasures. Providing quality haircuts that keep to their preferred style, our dementia trained mobile hairdresser regularly checks in to make the residents feel pampered.
Residents are able to have doctor’s appointments, sight check-ups, and dentist appointments here at the care home.

We make sure that all of our residents eat three nutritious, high-quality meals every day. From complete breakfast spreads to hot and cold lunches and sit-down dinners every evening, the term ‘luxury care’, comes into its own with the amount of delicious food that our residents are able to experience.
To make dinner something of an occasion, the residents at Seabourne House come down the stairs in the evening to tables that have been carefully laid in preparation of a three-course meal. Residents don’t, however, have to stick to the set menu; if there’s something they don’t like, our chef can always rustle up something else as equally delicious.
We cater for all dietary requirements and work closely with dieticians and nutritionists to provide meals that offer the residents everything they need to remain fit and healthy.
