Questions families ask
How long can respite care last?
Usually up to 8 weeks, depending on individual circumstances. The home can also assess stays lasting several months and create an individual care plan for longer respite arrangements.
Are care plans discussed with relatives?
Yes. The home discusses care needs and preferences with residents, relatives and relevant medical professionals, then reviews the plan regularly and communicates any changes clearly.
Can someone try the home before moving in permanently?
Yes. Day care allows someone to experience the home, meet the team, join the community and take part in activities before deciding about longer-term care, subject to availability.
Can residents bring their own furniture to their room?
Yes. Rooms are furnished, but residents can bring suitable furniture, photographs, ornaments, books and other personal belongings, provided there is enough space. The maintenance team can help with personal touches.
Are children allowed to visit residents?
Yes. Visitors of all ages are welcome at the home, including younger generations visiting residents.
How much does The Laurels and Pine Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Laurels and Pine Lodge 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.
