About Chesham House
Support for adults with mental health needs and younger adults is central to Chesham House. The home is registered as a care home without nursing and sits within Choice Care’s residential and supported living network. Its wider service model is designed for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and associated needs, with support shaped around individual goals and daily life.
Choice Care describes the home environment as a place to build confidence, connection and independence. Families and professionals can explore support types, referral routes and available therapies while considering whether the setting matches the person’s preferred lifestyle. Chesham House suits those who need structured residential support but want their care to relate to the life they want to lead, rather than only to a fixed care category.

Questions families ask
How much does Chesham House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Chesham House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Southampton council paid on average £1,591 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 Chesham House whether it takes residents funded by Southampton 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.
