About Avondene Care Home
A small 11-bed home in Christchurch, Avondene Care Home provides residential care for older people. It is owned by Christchurch Housing Society, a charitable organisation providing housing and care for older people since 1946.
Care follows residents’ needs and wishes, supporting daily living, independence and meaningful in-house activities. Avondene serves home-cooked food and considers dietary requirements when planning nutrition. Residents have spacious lounges, quiet areas and outdoor spaces, while access to the upper floor is by lift. This layout supports movement between the two floors and forms part of the home’s practical accommodation.

How much does Avondene Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Avondene Care Home 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.
