About Barnford House
Barnford House provides residential care and supported living through Voyage Care for people with learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries and complex needs. The service sits within a wider network offering support in registered care homes, supported accommodation, people’s own homes and community settings.
Voyage Care’s approach is person-centred, with teams working around individual needs, goals, preferences and values. Support can include helping someone build independence, maintain meaningful connections and take part in community life. Families and professionals considering Barnford House can explore the person’s preferred setting and level of support, since the wider organisation offers several pathways rather than one fixed model. The home’s specific registered scope should be matched carefully to the individual’s assessed needs before a placement is arranged.

How much does Barnford House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Barnford House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sandwell council paid on average £1,546 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.
