A warm and welcoming care home in Poole offering residential, dementia, respite, day and end-of-life care across two characterful cottages, with a dedicated dementia community, beautiful gardens and the Dorset coast close by.
The Laurels & Pine Lodge
The Laurels and Pine Lodge is made up of two cottages in a quiet corner of Oakdale, Poole, each with its own character. The Laurels offers comfortable residential care, while Pine Lodge is a dedicated dementia community, with its own spaces and routines designed around the needs of people living with dementia. Together, they create a warm, welcoming home where residents can receive the support they need while continuing to live life their own way.
There is a relaxed feel to life at The Laurels and Pine Lodge. Residents can spend time chatting with friends in the lounges, enjoy the landscaped gardens, join in with activities or simply have a quiet afternoon in their own room. Days aren't rushed, and support is there when it's needed. With Poole's beaches, Poole Quay and the wider Dorset coast close by, there's also plenty of opportunity to stay connected with the local area and enjoy time out with family.

Getting to know each resident is at the heart of life at The Laurels and Pine Lodge. We take time to understand their story, routines, interests and the things that matter most to them. From the support they need each day to the things they enjoy doing, everything is shaped around the individual, helping residents stay independent, make their own choices and enjoy each day.
Day Care
Flexible day visits offering companionship, activities, and a freshly cooked meal – giving carers a break while keeping loved ones engaged and supported.
Dementia Care
Our highly skilled team delivers compassionate person-centred dementia care, that supports independence and helps residents live well with all types of dementia.
End of Life Care
Dignified, compassionate support for residents and families during the final stages of life, delivered with sensitivity and respect.
Residential Care
Personalised residential care with support for daily living, personal care and medication assistance in a warm, home-from-home setting.
Respite Care
Short-term respite care providing support, engaging activities and a welcoming community, giving family carers peace of mind and a chance to recharge.
I firmly believe that our residents and team members deserve to live and work in a care home where they are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. Every person is different, and recognising individual choices, preferences and beliefs is at the heart of our person-centred approach to care. It is important that our team have the right training, support and people skills to help residents feel happy, fulfilled and supported to enjoy life their way. We work hard together to make The Laurels and Pine Lodge a home of choice for residents and their loved ones, and a great place to work for our team.
