Budgeting for this home
We estimate Woodside at £1,300–£1,590 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £68k–£83k.
Ask how often fees rise and whether they go up if care needs increase.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
