Aucklands Rest Home

Aucklands Rest Home, in Southbourne, Bournemouth, is a family run home, and has been owned by the Hart family for the past 26 years. In that 26 years we have built a wealth of experience in caring for the elderly, and we pride ourselves in delivering a high standard of person-centred care and encouraging individuals’ independence.

Aucklands Rest Home has only 8 bedrooms, and has a ‘home from home’ environment that we work hard to maintain. Our team of staff is led by the owner, Lynn Hart, and supported by the Registered Manager, Nicky Brown, who has worked with the Hart family for the past 25 years.

We understand how difficult it can be for both residents and their families when moving to residential care and we will do all we can to make the move as smooth as possible for all involved.

Aucklands Rest Home is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days and nights a week.

All rooms are fitted with an electronic call system operating 24 hours a day and the entire home is centrally heated and double glazed throughout. We have a fully fitted stair lift facility. We offer a varied ‘home cooked’ choice of menu using fresh produce and there is always a bowl of fruit available, which you are encouraged to help yourself from, as you would in your own home.

We have great fun celebrating many festivities throughout the year, including Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc and offer activities throughout the week, including a qualified ‘Extend’ (gentle exercises to music) teacher visiting, and one-to-one more personalised activities such as pamper sessions or cake baking.

Family and friends are welcome to visit you at any time, and may join you for afternoon tea or lunch in the dining room if you wish. We would like you to treat our home as your home.

Laundry service is free of charge (dry cleaning is at your expense).

We have a qualified hairdresser visit the home once a fortnight (not inclusive).

Chiropody, dental and optical services can be arranged for you.
