Home Care East Dorset

Welcome to Visiting Angel East Dorset!

We provide quality care at home in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Highcliffe, New Milton out to Lymington and up as far as Fordingbridge, Ringwood, and most of the New Forest.

We became a couple 14 years ago having met at work whilst travelling the world as airline cabin crew. Justyna went on to enjoy a career in the NHS as a community carer and then a Physiotherapist which she continued throughout the pandemic.

We provide exceptional homecare in a range of services:

• Companionship & Social Care
• Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care
• Personal Care
• Post Hospital Stay Care
• Palliative Care
• End of Life Care
• Respite Care

I continued to fly around the world as a Customer Service Manager until aviation was badly affected by Covid-19. In 2013 we had our wonderful son Ted who is very active and keeps us fit and wears us out as well! In 2021 we moved from Brighton to New Milton, which is a beautiful part of the world. The move proved to be a great decision. Bringing Visiting Angels and our passion for care to the local community makes us feel that we have come home! We are thoroughly enjoying living in Dorset, meeting local people, offering care and support to our wonderful clients throughout  this beautiful County and into the New Forest. Thank you for making us feel at home!

Meet the Team

Justyna Pokorska – Joint MD

Caring for people has always been present in both my personal and professional life. Growing up in Poland instilled in me strong family values and respect for the elderly, values which have remained with me throughout my life. Being able to support my loved ones means so much to me and having the chance to be a part of the Visiting Angels family has given me an opportunity to share my caring nature, not only with our wonderful clients but also with our caregivers who are at the heart of everything we do.

My career prior to Visiting Angels includes retail, customer service, Ofsted registered childminder and my most recent being the NHS as a community physiotherapy assistant. Adding my customer focus skills and my working experience in the NHS, gives me confidence in dealing with the different needs of our clients and their families.

With Visiting Angels, I will help create a change in the perception of care in the care industry. Our carer and client matching approach, where the client chooses a carer of their choice, a minimum 1 hour visit which will be quality time and not rushed, no more 15 minute visits! With Visiting Angels carer-centric approach I want caregivers to gain increased recognition in the industry for the hard work that they do. I am very proud and excited to be East Dorset and Hampshire representative of Visiting Angels UK.

Steve Fewings – Joint MD

My career in Customer Service, including a management role for a flagship airline sadly ended with redundancy caused by the pandemic! I went from travelling the world, being surrounded by people, to homeschooling my young son Ted. Well, what a privilege that was and I have learnt so much from him! During that time, like many people, I had to re-evaluate my future. My top priority was my elderly mum who lives in Dorset, which is 2 hours from my then home in Brighton. With mum’s eyesight deteriorating, her reluctance to move to Brighton or into a care home, I decided to move to be close to her. Then what to do next? I am extremely passionate when it comes to caring for people, it seemed the obvious and exciting choice to start a new venture, so myself and my partner, who was an NHS community Physio at the time, decided to set up Visiting Angels in East Dorset and Hampshire. At Visiting Angels, I am proud to say we are very carer-centric! This means we offer wonderful benefits to our carers ‘our angels’ over and above any other care provider. The effect is high staff retention and a high standard of carer. It is not easy to become an angel! All of that means that our wonderful clients benefit from consistent quality care from an angel who they actually choose themselves. I am so proud to be part of a company with such a carer-centric ethos, and on top of that my mum remains happy at home, reassured and maintaining her independence!
