Since 1979, Eleanor Healthcare has been providing local communities with fully personalised & bespoke services, to those who require assistance with home care.
We currently provide care across Dorset from our local branches: Poole, Boscombe & Dorchester. Home Care is all about your personalised and tailored support to your individual needs. It is the comfort of receiving the support you need in your very own home by the professional caregivers to manage your mornings with your personal care needs, prepare your meals, manage your weekly shopping, your domestic cleaning, and even take you out for routine walks and appointments. You have the opportunity to enjoy companionship services to combat loneliness, by pairing yourself with a holistic companion who complements your personality and goals, you’ll benefit from the support of a compassionate person who will be there to help you fulfil your potential. These services can be arranged based on your requirement from one hour a day to 24 hours and as many visits as you would require a week. No two visits are the same. We work with you and your family to get it right.

Back in 1979, Eleanor Healthcare was started by a married couple in London, with the company name being after the wife, a nurse called Eleanor Josephine Haire. The couple worked hard to grow the business, but as Eleanor’s husband became unwell, she knew she could no longer focus as much time on the business.
At the request of a mutual friend, Marc Santhiapillai was asked to handle the financial affairs of the business to take some of the pressure off Eleanor. Although this was initially a short-term plan, Marc was asked if he would consider taking over the business full time by the owners, as their health was sadly deteriorating.
Using his city accountancy knowledge and seeing the potential in the business, Marc gathered the funds he needed to invest in Eleanor and today, he is the CEO of a business that has grown substantially over the years into the Eleanor Healthcare Group.
Who we are today
Since our humble beginning in 1979, we have developed extensive experience and knowledge across all areas of the healthcare sector.
Today we are a large, independent provider of a wide range of care services including home care, residential care homes and day centres. We support individuals of all ages with varying levels of need for support.
Our consistent high standards of care are delivered by a compassionate and dedicated team of people. Our staff are always encouraged and supported to expand their skills with a catalogue of course options available at our dedicated training facility in Lewisham.
We work in both the public and private sectors to deliver care to our service-users nationwide.
