About Elizabeth House

Questions families ask
Do they offer toenail cutting appointments at home?
Yes. They provide professional toenail cutting appointments in the comfort of the customer’s home across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and East Dorset.
When does the nail cutting clinic run?
The Winton clinic runs on the first, second and third Wednesday of each month, with appointments booked in advance.
Who is the nail cutting clinic suitable for?
It is particularly suitable for older people who find nail care difficult because of reduced mobility, flexibility or age-related challenges.
Can they cut nails for people with diabetes or taking blood thinners?
Yes. Their team is trained to cut toenails and fingernails for people with diabetes or those taking blood thinners.
How much does Elizabeth House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Elizabeth 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.
