About Acorn Manor
Adults with autism, learning disabilities and complex care needs can live at Acorn Manor, an eight-bed residential home in a Georgian manor. The property has six en-suite bedrooms and two self-contained flats, with communal rooms and extensive grounds containing gardens, woodland and a lake.
Residents are encouraged to take part in everyday outings and activities, including walks, swimming and visits to local leisure venues. Staff receive specialist training in autism, learning disabilities, behaviours that challenge, moving and handling and NAPPI. Families and healthcare professionals are involved in care planning. The home’s two self-contained flats add flexibility to its small-scale residential setting.

Do residents take part in activities outside the home?
Yes. Residents are encouraged to go out every day, with activities including walks, visits to the beach, swimming, horse-riding, shopping and local parks.
How much does Acorn Manor cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Acorn Manor for its weekly fee. As a guide, Devon council paid on average £1,895 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.
