About April Court
Residential care, day services and support at home are available through April Court and Tricuro Care & Support for older people and adults with additional needs. The wider service includes respite care, supported living and reablement, helping people maintain or regain independence at home.
Day services provide social interaction, activities and community access, with meals and health and wellbeing support. Reablement uses short-term help with daily living, while residential placements can be privately funded or supported by local authorities. Private residential placements and local-authority funded care give families different routes to explore.

Questions families ask
How much does April Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask April Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council paid on average £1,295 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask April Court whether it takes residents funded by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
