About Avon Cliff
Avon Cliff provides residential, assisted, nursing and respite care, including support from qualified nurses around the clock. It can suit someone considering a permanent move, recovering after hospital treatment, trialling care home life or arranging a short break for a loved one or carer. The home’s care is clinically led, with nurses present day and night and responsibility held by the on-site team.
The “All About Me” approach shapes support around each resident’s routines, preferences and changing needs rather than fixed schedules. Community life includes activities and events, while families remain connected through regular visits and local community links. Short stays are available for rest, recovery or trialling care, and selected Colten Care homes offer a four-week short stay for the cost of three weeks.

How much does Avon Cliff cost?

As a guide, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council paid on average £1,341 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.
