About Alverthorpe
Support for adults with learning disabilities and autism is at the centre of Alverthorpe’s residential care. The home helps residents build meaningful everyday lives, with registration also covering older people, mental health, physical disabilities and sensory impairment.
Alverthorpe forms part of ivolve, whose wider services include residential care, supported living and complex nursing care for adults aged 18 and over. Support focuses on independence, confidence and practical skills, while families and advocates can remain involved throughout the support journey. The home has eight bedrooms and is presented as a residential setting rather than a supported-living flat.

Questions families ask
From what age do they support adults?
From age 17. The provider supports adults with autism, dementia, learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical disabilities and other complex needs.
What types of care do they offer?
They offer supported living for greater independence, residential care in a structured home environment and complex nursing care for high medical or behavioural needs.
How can care be funded?
Care can be funded through a local authority or Integrated Care Board after an assessment, NHS Continuing Healthcare or private or family funding.
How much does Alverthorpe cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Alverthorpe for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wakefield council paid on average £805 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
