Questions families ask
Are nurses available at the care home day and night?
Yes. The home is clinically led and supported by its own nurses on site at all times, with continuous oversight of residents' changing needs.
How is care personalised for each resident?
Care is planned around what matters to each person. The All About Me philosophy considers individual routines, preferences and needs rather than applying fixed routines.
How much does Canford Chase cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Canford Chase for its weekly fee. 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.
