Located in the village of Lychett Matravers, near Poole, Castle Farm was part of the Great Farm which was divided into smaller units at the time of the Enclosures Act. The oldest part of the farmhouse dates from the 18th century and the farm was in continual agricultural use until the 1980s. The Retirement Home is on the edge of the village, with access to the local GP surgery, library, village store and post office. Residents enjoy the peace, tranquility and beauty of the unspoilt Dorset countryside whilst also benefitting from the fresh, clean country air. Royal Bay Care Homes is a long-established group with over 27 years experience of providing caring and secure residential homes for the elderly. From simple help with daily living through to full nursing care, a Royal Bay care home guarantees to match the needs of individuals. Our care homes can also offer respite care facilities - please contact the individual care home for details.

When you walk across the threshold of one of our care homes, you immediately feel the warmth and security which is the result of the work of our managers, carers and domestic staff. This is a truly vocational environment where the carers who succeed are the ones who see beyond the frailty of older age and the limitations it brings, into the whole person and their rich experience of life. All Royal Bay Care Staff have training appropriate to their duties and responsibilities. Many are undergoing continued vocational qualification training to help them progress in their delivery of professional and friendly care. Care Home Managers all hold the NVQ in Care the highest level, or the Registered Manager's Award.
