About Arbor Way
Residential care for people with learning disabilities is the focus of Arbor Way. The home provides accommodation and day-to-day support for residents who need structured assistance while living in a community-based care setting.
The wider organisation supports people with learning disabilities through accessible information, social care guidance, health resources and community activities. Arbor Way’s supported role is residential care rather than a separately confirmed nursing service. Families can therefore compare its learning disability provision with the accommodation and daily support required by a relative. Its clearest offer is residential care for people with learning disabilities.

Questions families ask
How much does Arbor Way cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Arbor Way for its weekly fee. As a guide, Solihull council paid on average £1,139 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Arbor Way whether it takes residents funded by Solihull council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
