About Whitecliffe House
Whitecliffe House delivers nursing care for older people and younger adults through Colten Care. The wider care model includes residential, assisted and dementia support, with care designed to adapt as needs change.
Colten Care uses its All About Me approach to plan support around each resident rather than a routine applied to everyone. Nurses are present day and night, and teams communicate closely so changes in health can be recognised early. The service offers clinically led care with continuity, familiar surroundings and structured support across different stages of a care journey.

Questions families ask
How much does Whitecliffe House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Whitecliffe House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,282 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Whitecliffe House whether it takes residents funded by Dorset 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
