About Forest Edge
Forest Edge specialises in dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive impairments within a 32-bed residential care home. It provides long-term, respite and palliative care, with support designed around the individual experience of dementia. The home also works with external healthcare professionals to support residents’ ongoing needs.
Residents receive regular GP visits, dental appointments and district nursing. A qualified cook prepares freshly home-cooked meals, with seasonal menus rotated over four weeks to meet nutritional needs. Activities are planned around residents’ interests, while the person-centred approach recognises each person’s history, identity and changing needs. Podiatry is available at an additional cost and is invoiced directly.

How much does Forest Edge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Forest Edge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hampshire council paid on average £1,214 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.
