About Avon Lee Lodge
Residential care, respite stays and day care at Avon Lee Lodge are designed for older people who need support while retaining as much independence as possible. The family-run home provides residential care for older people, with short stays available for recuperation after hospital treatment and day care that can supplement existing support at home.
Directors supervise the service and have run the home since 2005. Residents have access to gardens, activities, home-made food and facilities intended to support independence, including personal alarms and mobility aids. Respite residents use the same facilities as long-term residents, while rooms vary in size and facilities. Respite services are subject to availability.

Questions families ask
Is there a minimum stay at Avon Lee Lodge?
Yes. They require residents receiving respite care to stay for at least one week, so shorter stays are not available.
Do respite residents get the same facilities as permanent residents?
Yes. Respite residents have access to exactly the same facilities as long-term residents, including the home's shared amenities and activities.
What does day care at Avon Lee Lodge include?
Day care includes a full bath, meals and access to all of the home's facilities and activities, providing support alongside existing home care arrangements.
How much does Avon Lee Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Avon Lee Lodge 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.
