Home Care in Wimborne

Care at home for families across Wimborne

Protocol Healthcare Services provides trusted home care in Wimborne for older people, adults with disabilities and anyone who needs a little more support to stay safe and independent at home. The team that looks after Wimborne is based at our Bournemouth office, a short drive down the A31, so our local Care Professionals know this corner of East Dorset well and can reach families quickly, from the town centre around the Minster and the Square out to Merley, Colehill, Leigh and Canford Magna.

Whether you are looking for a short daily visit to help a parent get up and dressed, or full-time live-in support after a hospital stay, we build the care around the person, not the other way round. Every Care Professional we place is vetted with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training before they support you, and the same familiar faces return wherever possible so trust can grow.

Local knowledge that makes a difference in Wimborne

Wimborne Minster is a historic Dorset market town where the River Stour meets the River Allen, just five miles north of Poole, and it is home to a strong community of older residents in quieter neighbourhoods such as Colehill, Furzehill, Leigh and Oakley, alongside busy family areas around Merley and Corfe Mullen. Many of the people we support want to stay close to familiar places, whether that is the twin-towered Minster Church of St Cuthburga, market day on the Cornmarket and the Square, or a stroll along the riverside walks. Our care is designed to keep those routines going, not replace them.

We regularly support people coming home from Victoria Hospital in Wimborne, run by Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust, as well as those discharged from the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, part of University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust. Getting the first few weeks at home right matters, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support, and we keep in close contact with families, GPs and district nurses to spot any problems early.

Adult social care in the area is overseen by Dorset Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask Dorset Council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many of the families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different funding routes work so you can make a confident decision.
