Margaret’s Story: Dementia Care at Home in Bournemouth

Live-in care

“Without the dedicated support of GoodOaks, Mum wouldn’t be able to remain safely in her own home. It’s been life-changing for all of us.”

“We’re now four months into having Ellie with Mum, and it’s honestly transformed our lives. Mum is happier, more settled, and well looked after by someone who understands her routines and moods. It’s given us back peace of mind and quality time. When we visit now, it’s not to manage care tasks, but to truly enjoy being together. We’ll always be grateful.”

Margaret, 82, had been living alone in Southbourne after her husband passed away. Diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s two years prior, her family had been supporting her with visits, but began noticing worrying signs: meals left uneaten, confusion around medication, and increased anxiety after dusk.

A brief hospital admission due to dehydration made it clear Margaret needed consistent support at home. The idea of moving her to a care home caused distress for the family; Margaret had built a life in her home, surrounded by memories, and wasn’t ready to leave. That’s when they discovered GoodOaks’ live-in dementia care.

Laura, our Bournemouth Registered Manager, visited Margaret at home to understand her needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Together with the family, we developed a tailored dementia care plan, focused on calm routines, hydration support, and companionship.

Margaret was soon introduced to Ellie, a live-in care professional with specialised dementia experience. Ellie’s gentle, reassuring presence and shared love for gardening helped Margaret feel instantly comfortable. With consistent one-to-one support, Margaret regained her sense of security and joy; right where she belongs: home.
