About The Aldbury
The Aldbury is dedicated entirely to people living with dementia, offering residential dementia care, nursing dementia care and short-stay respite. Its “All About Me” approach bases support on each resident’s routines, preferences and personal history rather than fixed assumptions about dementia.
The home provides 24/7 nurse-led dementia care, including support for complex and advanced conditions. Residents have en-suite bedrooms, landscaped gardens and comfortable lounges, with sensory-friendly spaces designed to reduce confusion and promote calm. A café and salon add everyday amenities, while the on-site nursing team supports changing health needs within the same dedicated dementia setting.

How does The Aldbury personalise dementia care?

How much does The Aldbury cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Aldbury 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.
