Welcome to Gore Grange Care & Wellbeing Centre
Located in New Milton, Gore Grange Care & Wellbeing Centre provides a safe, welcoming and supportive environment where older people can enjoy companionship, meaningful activities, nutritious meals and opportunities to stay active and engaged. For carers and families, it offers valuable reassurance and peace of mind, along with time to rest, recharge or focus on other responsibilities.
We welcome all older people, including those living with a dementia diagnosis. Our person-centred approach means we take the time to get to know each individual, understanding their interests, preferences and needs so they can enjoy their day in a way that feels comfortable, familiar and fulfilling.
At the heart of Gore Grange is our dedicated team of staff and volunteers, led by Centre Manager Mandy – who also manages The Horrill Care & Wellbeing Centre. The team are passionate about helping people feel connected, valued and supported.
“Gore Grange offers a place for people to enjoy friendship, routine, support and specialist care. And of course, our day care services provide respite for the carers as well as the cared.
It is a pleasure to go to work each day, greet the clients and their families and watch them enjoy their time with us.
And when they go home, they always say that they’ve had a lovely day. A job well done!”
Through ongoing specialist training, including dementia awareness and wellbeing programmes, our team has the knowledge, compassion and experience to provide high-quality support. Just as importantly, they offer a warm welcome, a listening ear and a friendly face, helping every person who walks through our doors feel at home from the moment they arrive.

Client Feedback...
Care & Wellbeing Centre Client
I enjoy coming for the company and the atmosphere is wonderful! Being at home alone is a very lonely life. I didn’t think I liked art, but have found I’m quite good at it and really enjoying it.

The centre is an escape from the four walls of my house. It means a lot to me to be able to meet and talk to other people and I enjoy the quiz activities especially.

I know my wife is safe and is enjoying her day. I can take some time to go and visit family members and have some time for me. The support I get is invaluable

The Centre offered a life line to me and my family - without the support of the team we would not have been able to cope
