About Bigwig House
Young adults with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs can receive residential support at Bigwig House, a registered care home without nursing. The home sits within Green Light’s Cornwall services, which create family-sized homes for adults needing a stable and predictable place to live.

Together, these arrangements give families and professionals a clearly structured service context when considering residential support for autism or learning disability, while the home environment provides continuity in daily life.

Questions families ask
How much does Bigwig House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Bigwig House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Cornwall council paid on average £2,062 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Bigwig House whether it takes residents funded by Cornwall 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.
