About Primrose Lodge Southbourne
Primrose Lodge Southbourne provides residential, respite, day and end-of-life care for older people in Southbourne, Bournemouth. Each resident receives a care plan based on their routines, preferences, history and health needs, with support adapted as circumstances change. The home also offers personal care, comfortable rooms, activities, dining and help with day-to-day living.
Residents can take part in outings, music, exercise and crafts, while chefs cater for special dietary requirements. The home aims to support independence and offers a home-for-life approach, including end-of-life wishes where care needs increase. Respite care is available when a room is free, but the home does not keep a dedicated respite room and cannot accept advanced respite bookings. Care plans are built around routines and preferences from arrival.
