Answer a few questions and we’ll estimate the hours a week, a visit schedule and a rough cost for care at home in Bournemouth — in about a minute.
Every agency here is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Each profile shows the full CQC breakdown — whether the service is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
Visiting care typically costs £22–£30 per hour across the UK. That’s a typical range, not a local quote, so ask each agency for a written quote. For context, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council’s published cost-of-care rate was around £1,220/week (2025). Your home isn’t counted in the means test while care is provided there. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council carries out the free care needs assessment.

Care-home figures are the average advertised private weekly fee across AskBart’s listings (Bournemouth within ~5 miles; Dorset county-wide); actual fees depend on the home, room and level of care. Home-care figures are typical UK estimates — we don’t yet hold verified local agency rates, so they aren’t shown per area. Always get written quotes. Model your own numbers with the care cost calculator.
