About Amberwood House
Amberwood House combines residential, nursing and respite care with support for end of life needs, hospital recovery and changing care requirements. Its own registered nurses are on site around the clock, alongside a coordinated team covering care, hospitality, housekeeping and maintenance.
The home plans support around each resident’s routines, preferences and personal habits through its ‘All About Me’ approach. Short stays can support recovery after hospital treatment, give carers a break or let someone try life at the home before a permanent move. Nurses are present day and night to provide continuous clinical oversight.

How much does Amberwood House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Amberwood House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,282 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
