About Brentwood
Brentwood sits within the North East Autism Society’s adult care services, supporting people with learning disabilities through residential placements and supported living. The wider programme also connects care with day services, employment support and family support, although the home’s registered scope is residential care without nursing.
Adult services promote vocational and craft skills, communication, social interaction and independent-living skills. Day services are tailored to assessed needs using person-centred approaches, while the organisation supports autistic people and their families across different life stages. Year-round residential placements provide an established care setting for adults needing ongoing support.

Yes. It provides round-the-clock care for children in residential homes and short-break provision.
Are adult day services tailored to individual needs?
Yes. Adult day services offer varied programmes and activities tailored to each person’s assessed needs using person-centred approaches.

How much does Brentwood cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Brentwood 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.
