Offmore Farm Residential Home

29/04/2026

Offmore Farm’s ethos is built on the foundation of person-centred care. This quote from Maya Angelou resonates with us because it highlights that a true 'home' is created through kindness and the meaningful interactions that happen every day.

28/04/2026

When we talk about 'person-centred care', do you truly know what that entails?

This is a strategy that was launched in 2017, and follows a simple framework to make sure every person in care is treated with the same dignity, respect and in response to their needs:

✅ Values
✅ Core communication and relationship building skills
✅ Step 1. Conversations to engage with people
✅ Step 2. Conversations to enable and support people
✅ Step 3. Conversations with people to collaboratively manage highest complexity and significant risk
✅ Delivery of training, education and learning opportunities
✅ ‘Enablers’ for embedding a person-centred approach

What that looks like in practice is what care looks like at Offmore Farm...

At the core of everything we do are our three pillars of care: respect, dignity, and compassion. Our staff aren’t just carers, they are companions. By providing support that empowers residents rather than limiting them, we ensure that every person living in or visiting Offmore Farm for respite and day care maintains their self-esteem and quality of life.

We know that the transition to residential care can be emotional for families. Transparency and communication are vital parts of our approach to care. We invite families to be part of the journey, ensuring they have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe, cherished, and most importantly, happy.

Get in touch with us to talk about your loved one's needs and find out how we can help, or read more about our approach to care in the comments.

We don’t believe in a ‘one size fits all’ philosophy.

Every person who experiences Offmore Farm, whether as full-time resident, or as a day or short-term respite guest, brings a lifetime of experiences, preferences, and personality.

Our dedicated team takes the time to truly know each resident, understanding not just their medical needs, but what makes their smile light up.

Whether it’s a specific morning routine, a lifelong hobby or food preference, we tailor our care to honour the individual.

We know that the transition to residential care can be emotional for families. We therefore warmly invite you to speak to our friendly team about you plans for the future care of your loved ones, without obligation, without any pressure to make a decision.

We are trusted by families and loved by residents, if you'd like to talk to us, please get in touch.

Choosing a residential home for a loved one is one of the most significant decisions a family can make together.

At Offmore Farm, our approach to care is built on the belief that every resident is an individual with a unique story to tell.

In the latest blog, we invite you behind the scenes to see how our approach to care makes Offmore Farm feel less like a facility and more like a family.

Do people with dementia have to pay for care?

Unfortunately there is no funding available specifically for dementia care in the UK, so there is always funding to consider.

While the majority of our residents and guests are privately funded, you may be eligible for financial support. A diagnosis of dementia alone, however is not enough to qualify, so there must be an assessment of having a ‘primary health need’. (carehome.co.uk)

You can find more information about our costs and funding on our website, or you are most welcome to call or email to ask your questions.

We love this simple sentence 🥰 All we want is to make everyone happy, and when you think about what that entails it really means so much; clinical excellence, compassion, therapy, activities, meals, environment, communication... The list goes on!

Lyn went on to say, "The staff are kind, thoughtful, and caring, Mum spent 2 happy years at Offmore Farm Residential Home. Thank you for everything you did for her, you are an amazing home I would definitely recommend. You are all amazing." carehome.co.uk

Reviews mean so much to us, not just so we know we're doing a good job, but so that others in the community can see it too, and it might help them pick up the phone and ask for support...

So thank you to everyone who leaves a review, gives feedback and shares their experiences 🙏

There is nothing quite like that first proper bit of sunshine to get everyone moving. We spent a wonderful afternoon outside today, making the most of the garden and the fresh air.
It was lovely to see everyone find a comfortable spot to sit back, relax, and have a good natter while soaking up the warmth.
The garden is looking great, and the sunshine certainly makes everything feel a bit brighter.

We train every member of our team, not just in practical care, but in how to truly understand the person behind the diagnosis. Many of our carers have specialist training in dementia and complex needs, and all share one common purpose – to deliver care with kindness.

We also ensure families are supported, because when your loved feels comfortable, so do you.

➡️ Person-Centred
We see the whole person not just their medical needs. From meal choices and daily routines to cultural traditions and personal history. Everything is shaped around the individual.

➡️ Harmonious Therapies
We combine therapeutic activities like music, aromatherapy, movement and companionship with medical care to reduce isolation and enhance well-being.

➡️ Specialist Dementia Care
Working with outside professionals and the family, we design a Bespoke Care Pathway, tailored to each stage of Dementia and delivered by trained staff.

➡️ Bespoke Care Pathways
Person-centred care leads to bespoke care plans. We don’t believe in guesswork. Our care is structured around clear Care Pathways, built with:
✔️ Your Input
✔️ Clinical Guidance
✔️ Ongoing Review
✔️ Emotional insight

➡️ Compassion
Above all, we lead with compassion. Our residents aren’t just looked after, they’re cared for. And that brings comfort, confidence and connection to every family.

We partner with you, your family and health professionals to ensure care evolves with your needs - always delivered with dignity - always based on trust.

We would love for you and your family to visit and see for yourselves how life at Offmore Farm is enjoyed.
