Questions families ask
Can residents try Oakdene before moving in permanently?
Yes. Prospective residents can arrange a four-week trial stay to experience life at Oakdene before deciding whether to move in permanently.
Do they offer respite care?
Yes. Oakdene offers respite care after assessing the person’s care needs and deciding how long the stay should be. It can support recovery after illness, injury or an operation, or provide a break for a family carer.
Do they provide palliative care?
Yes. They provide palliative care for people nearing the end of life or living with a life-limiting condition, working with the local district nursing team and supporting loved ones.
How often are care plans reviewed?
Care plans are reassessed every month in-house or twice a year with loved ones, so they can be adapted as a resident’s care needs change.
Can residents bring their own furniture and personal items?
Yes. Residents can bring personal belongings, photographs, decorations and small furnishings, although their own beds and high-value items are excluded.
How much does Oakdene Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oakdene Nursing Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,282 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.
