About Ashgate Cottage
Residential placements for people with learning disabilities are provided at Ashgate Cottage within the North East Autism Society. The organisation also offers supported living, family support, short breaks and community activities for autistic people and their families.
Its adult day services provide programmes tailored to assessed needs, including vocational and craft opportunities that can develop communication, social interaction and independent-living skills. The wider organisation also provides specialist education, employment support and training. Ashgate Cottage forms part of a broader service network supporting people across residential care, education and daily living. Year-round residential placements are available within that wider programme.

Questions families ask
How much does Ashgate Cottage cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ashgate Cottage for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sunderland council paid on average £931 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 Ashgate Cottage whether it takes residents funded by Sunderland 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.
