Meet The Manager
Elena Yilmaz is Manager at Montrose Care Home.
Montrose is a family-owned and friendly care home in Dorchester, just a stone’s throw from the shops, market and parks.
Each of our 22 residents has their own bedroom, which they can personalise with their own pictures, bedding and smaller pieces of furniture. Most are permanent residents, but we also offer short-term respite care.
Choosing a care home can be a daunting task. The best way to really get a feel for the home is to pop in for a cuppa, tour the home, including any available bedrooms and talk to our manager, staff and residents. This will really help you get a feel for Montrose and what it’s like to be part of our community.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
