About The Moorings
Residential support for five autistic adults is provided at The Moorings in Parkstone, Poole. The home is intended for people who want support with choices, daily independence and personal goals in a quiet residential setting. Staff focus on individual abilities, strengths, wishes and aspirations.
The service can support people with communication difficulties and other needs associated with autism, while helping residents prepare for more independent and fulfilling lives. The Moorings is a small home rather than a general care setting, with support shaped around each person’s circumstances. Its documented offer is residential support, not nursing care, and the home sits within Priory’s wider care organisation.

Questions families ask
How much does The Moorings cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Moorings for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council paid on average £2,097 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The Moorings whether it takes residents funded by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
