Questions families ask
Can they provide toenail cutting at home?
Yes. Professional toenail cutting appointments are available in the client’s home across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and East Dorset.
Can they cut nails for people with diabetes or on blood thinners?
Yes. Their nail care team is trained to cut toenails and fingernails for people with diabetes or those taking blood thinners.
Do nail clinic appointments need to be booked in advance?
Yes. Appointments at the Winton nail cutting clinic must be booked in advance so the nail care team can accommodate clients.
How much does Buxton House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Buxton House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,254 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.
