Dolphin Homes

Dolphin Homes Delivering first class quality care and support are at the foundation of everything we offer.

We were founded in 1988 with the aim of providing high quality accommodation, care, assistance and support for people within the South East of England and started out with a residential care home for the elderly. In 2004 Dolphin Homes extended its range of services when it opened Myrtle Cottage, in Emsworth, its first home for adults with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. OUR MISSION

We shall continue to develop our expertise in providing both general and specialist services to meet continuing care demands whilst demonstrating a level of flexibility to meet changing market needs. Our professional team of staff will continue to focus on developing standards of excellence in all of our homes, whilst our company will remain committed to our personnel, supporting their professional development through training and career progression. As a result of achieving our service person centred objectives, Dolphin Homes will be recognised as the leading provider of learning disability care services in the South of England.

As we say goodbye to How Would You Feel, we’re opening a new chapter: Moments That Matter.

Life is shaped by small, meaningful interactions; moments that show care, dignity, and respect. One recent moment reminded us of this:

During a visit, a supported person proudly showed their newly decorated bedroom. A few delivery boxes had been placed in front of treasured photos, unnoticed. The manager gently asked if they’d like the items moved, and together they cleared the space so those memories could shine again.

Such a simple act, but it made a big difference , sparking conversation, connection, and a reminder that noticing the little things truly matters.

Over the next 12 months, we’ll be sharing real moments just like this.
We’d love to hear yours.

What small moment has made a difference to you?

This week is a powerful reminder that employers have a legal responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act to identify risks and take action to prevent work-related stress and support good mental health in the workplace.

At Dolphin Homes, we’re committed to creating a safe, supportive environment for all our colleagues. Here’s how we’re doing it:

- Speak Up Guardians – confidential support for workplace concerns
- Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) – trained colleagues ready to listen
- Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) – 24/7 support via BUPA
- Compliance with the Health & Safety at Work Act and Working Minds campaign principles

For practical advice and ideas, visit: https://www.hse.gov.uk/stress/index.htm

Let’s keep the conversation going. Together, we can prevent stress at work and promote good mental health!

We just had to share this lovely message received about our amazing team at The Laurels!

“I would just like to say I have worked in the care sector for over 20yrs as I used to be a caregiver, I now work doing the massage treatments for many clients in many different homes and I would just like to say The laurels is by far the most welcoming and friendly place I have been, I can clearly see all residents at the laurels are very well looked after.

I’ve always noticed how the staff that look after them have great relationships with them focusing on the small details with great care and respect and attention to details.

The home itself is run so well it’s an absolute pleasure to see everyone working together as a team and seeing the smile on the residents faces from the time they spend having fun together.

I really enjoy coming to do the massage and I just wanted you to know it’s a pleasure to watch you all in what you do as I know some places just don’t do it as you all do! Well done to you all!"

Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re so proud of our wonderful team at The Laurels for the care, joy, and compassion they bring every single day 💙
