About Marchfield House
Marchfield House provides residential care for older people, including support for dementia and older adults with mental health needs. Each resident is assessed individually so care can be shaped around their needs while supporting as much ordinary daily life as possible. Staff have undertaken dementia and elderly mental health training.
The home combines freshly prepared, locally sourced food with ensuite bedrooms and a 24-hour call system. Communal activities include music therapy, gardening and reminiscence work, while dementia-friendly signage, enhanced lighting and contrasting features support navigation. Bedrooms can be adapted with small items of personal furniture, helping residents retain familiar surroundings. The home’s dementia-friendly environmental features complement its personalised care.

How much does Marchfield House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Marchfield House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,254 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
