About Aucklands Care
Dementia care is the central focus at Aucklands Care, a family-run home in Southbourne with eight rooms and 24-hour support for people living with dementia and mental health conditions. Staff use each person’s life story, preferences, history and routines to shape detailed care plans with residents, families and friends.
The service aims to maintain independence, dignity and choice as memory and cognitive abilities change. Dementia-specific training, validation methods and activities matched to residents’ interests form part of daily support. The home’s small scale means residents receive care in an eight-room family-run home with a familiar setting and established routines.

Questions families ask
How much does Aucklands Care cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Aucklands Care 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 Aucklands Care 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.
