Questions families ask
Who is the care home suitable for?
It is designed for people with mental health needs, including poor or short-term memory, personality disorder and depression that may cause anxiety, confusion or agitation.
Can they cater for special dietary needs?
Yes. Home-cooked meals are provided and dietary needs can be catered for after consultation with each individual resident. A cooked breakfast is available on request.
Are hairdressing and chiropody included?
They provide hairdressing weekly, chiropody every eight weeks and an optician when necessary. These are external services, so the resident is responsible for payment.
How much does Portelet Lodge Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Portelet Lodge Care Home 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.
