Lorraine Maher is Manager at Eleanor Nursing & Social Care Ltd - Dorchester Office.
Being in a location such as Poundbury has given us the platform to develop into the service we are today. Our branch team have a number of years of collective experience and this really shows in the quality of service delivery.
Working across a rural part of Dorset has its challenges, however our team have developed an effective delivery model ensuring the highest quality care is offered to all of our service users.
Based in the heart of the well-known Poundbury Estate in Dorchester, this branch delivers the Royal touch to homecare!
Since opening in October 2019 our Dorchester Branch has supported more than 105 individuals and currently employs 39 members of staff. Our plan behind being based in Poundbury was to allow us to effectively offer a dual service model, supporting Dorset Council and private clients simultaneously.
Due to having a higher percentage of private clients compared to other homecare branches we are far more integrated into the community frequently playing our part in community events.
