The Potteries in Broadstone, Poole, is a purpose-built care home aimed towards a luxury lifestyle. The team provides expert residential, dementia and nursing care for short-term respite and permanent residents.

A short drive from the seaside, residents can enjoy an array of superb facilities at the home, including a coffee shop, cinema and hair and beauty salon. The home even has its very own pub!

The team at The Potteries gets to know each resident so they can provide the best possible person-centred care. They learn their life histories, likes and dislikes, and put together care and lifestyle plans that are tailored to their unique needs and interests. These support residents to live fun and fulfilling lives at The Potteries.

From the manager

“I started off as a Bank Carer and have worked my way up, so I have first-hand experience and am always there to support my staff where needed. I worked for a local Nursing Agency where I carried out a wide variety of care including hospitals, maternity hospital and care homes. One of the biggest challenges during my time at the Potteries has been transferring 42 residents from Mitchell House (when it closed down) to The Potteries ensuring that they were all settled and reassuring the relatives at such a sensitive time. This was a huge task but with the right support and team work it proved to be a success and all of our residents have settled in well.”
