About Coral House
Coral House provides residential support for seven adults with a range of needs, including autism, learning disability, physical disability and dementia. The home is near Poole and Bournemouth in a quiet suburb, with access to beaches and coastal walks.
Its smaller scale is central to the service profile, making it relevant to people seeking residential support in a seven-person setting rather than a large care home. The published location description identifies support for both males and females and a variety of needs, while the registered scope also includes mental health, younger adults and children. Priory’s wider services should not be assumed to apply to this home.

Questions families ask
How much does Coral House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Coral House 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Coral House whether it takes residents funded by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
