About The Piers
Specialist residential support in Bournemouth is available for three autistic men and women and people with learning disabilities at The Piers. It can also support people with communication difficulties and mild to moderate behaviours that challenge, helping residents participate in their home and the wider community.
Support follows a person-centred, positive behaviour approach, with the team working towards fuller, more independent lives. The Piers forms part of Priory, whose wider organisation offers private and commissioned care services. This location’s focus remains residential support for autistic people and people with learning disabilities.

Questions families ask
How much does The Piers cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Piers 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 Piers 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.
