About Marjorie House
Marjorie House provides residential dementia care for older people in Poole as part of Care South, a not-for-profit care charity. The home supports residents in a community setting and takes part in shared activities, family events and local fundraising, giving residents opportunities to remain connected beyond the home. It is registered as a care home without nursing.
Care South’s wider services include care homes, care at home and assisted living across southern England. Its separate nail care service offers routine toenail and fingernail cutting, including home appointments and a booked clinic for older people with reduced mobility. That service is distinct from Marjorie House’s residential care, but may be useful to families looking for practical support alongside accommodation and daily care.

Questions families ask
How much does Marjorie House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Marjorie 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 Marjorie 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.
