About Oakdale
Oakdale supports older people with residential, nursing and dementia care in a purpose-built Poole home. It also provides palliative and respite care, helping residents who need daily assistance, nursing support or end-of-life care.
Care plans reflect each resident’s routines, preferences and changing requirements, with nursing staff available day and night when needed. Residents can join activities, gardening or cooking, while an on-site chef prepares fresh home-cooked meals with weekly-changing menus. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the home supports residents to remain active and involved in daily life.

Questions families ask
What types of care does Oakdale provide?
They provide residential, dementia, nursing, respite and palliative care. The team discusses individual care requirements and tailors support to each resident.
What happens before and when someone moves in?
They encourage prospective residents to visit, meet the team, tour the home and enjoy a meal in the bistro. On the first day, the team gets to know the resident and family and completes the care plans.
Can residents bring pets to Oakdale?
In some cases. They can accommodate pets depending on the circumstances, which are discussed with the Home Manager.
What food is provided at Oakdale?
An on-site chef prepares varied, nutritious home-cooked food from locally sourced ingredients each day. Menus change weekly, with puddings and snacks available throughout the day.
Is nursing care available around the clock?
Yes. Their qualified registered nurses are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide personalised medical attention for residents’ needs.
How much does Oakdale cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oakdale 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.
