We understand
Finding a care home is often overwhelming
Many families have to decide quickly, without knowing where to start. That is exactly why we exist.
An emotional decision
It is about someone you love. Nobody should have to make this choice alone.
No time to compare
Calling care homes one by one takes weeks you do not always have.
Hard to judge quality
Every website looks the same. We only put forward homes we have selected, with the CQC report for each one.
Fees that are hard to read
Weekly fees, extras, council funding: we compare the prices and help you with the funding questions.
You are not alone.
Your area
A care home in Bournemouth, close to home
Between the pier, the Lower Gardens running down to the sea and the sandy beaches below the cliffs, Bournemouth has landmarks everyone recognises. When it is time to choose a care home, many families want to stay close: to the neighbourhood, the shops, the familiar faces.
Your adviser knows the care homes in Bournemouth and the towns around it. They know where places come up, from Southbourne and Boscombe to Westbourne and Kinson, and only put forward homes that match the care needs and the budget of your loved one.
The local picture
Care homes in Bournemouth
Help with the fees, which hospitals are close, how far to look: what families in Bournemouth usually ask first.
Help from the council with the fees
A financial assessment works out whether the council will pay towards your loved one's care. If their care needs are eligible and they qualify, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) pays its share of the care home fees, alongside their own contribution.
Hospitals nearby
The Royal Bournemouth Hospital is one of the three hospitals of University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust, alongside Poole Hospital and Christchurch Hospital. Reassuring when your loved one needs regular appointments close to home.
Few places nearby? We widen the search
Many families look first in the town, from Southbourne to Winton and Kinson. If no place suits, we widen the search to the towns and villages around: Poole, Christchurch, Ferndown, Wimborne or Ringwood.

See what families say about our service
Hannah was so engaged when we were looking for a suitable home for my father in law. She responded quickly and followed up all enquiries. We would not have found the home without her help.
One phone call put me in touch with Jake, who was immediately able to suggest three care homes in our area. Within 24 hours we had visited the top recommendation and reserved a room.
Hannah was knowledgeable, was careful to understand my wife's needs. She suggested suitable care homes within reasonable travelling distance for me and arranged for me to visit them.
Your questions
Questions families ask us
Is the service really free?
Yes. All Care Homes is 100% free for families, with no hidden fee and no commitment. Our partner homes fund the service when a resident moves in. You will not spend a single pound with us at any point of the search.
How quickly will I receive my list?
An adviser gets in touch shortly after you send the form, usually the same working day, to confirm what you need. Your personalised list of homes with a place available follows, most often within 24 hours.
Can you help urgently, for example after a hospital stay?
Yes. Tell us in the form that you need a place in less than a month. Your adviser concentrates the search on homes with a room available right now and can arrange a visit within days.
How is a care home paid for?
Three routes exist: self-funding, local authority funding after a financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare for people whose needs are primarily health-related. Many families combine them. Your adviser will explain which one applies to your situation and what to ask the council or the NHS.
What happens after I send the form?
A dedicated adviser calls you to understand the situation: the level of care needed, the area, the timing and the budget. They then send a short list of suitable homes with prices and vacancies, and arrange visits with the homes you want to see. They stay available for questions until the move.
Are the homes inspected?
Every care home and nursing home in England is registered and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which rates them Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate. We only work with homes we have selected for their standards, and your adviser can point you to the latest inspection report for each home on your list.
