About Croft Cottage
Croft Cottage supports younger adults and people with learning or physical disabilities through residential care within an epilepsy-focused charitable organisation. Its registered care scope covers learning disabilities, physical disabilities and younger adults.
The associated care service places residents at the centre of support and provides care for people affected by epilepsy. The wider organisation combines care with epilepsy research and advocacy. Croft Cottage therefore offers residential support within a specialist organisational setting, with individual care shaped around residents’ needs rather than a published list of accommodation or activities.

Questions families ask
How much does Croft Cottage cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Croft Cottage for its weekly fee. As a guide, Buckinghamshire council paid on average £2,356 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 Croft Cottage whether it takes residents funded by Buckinghamshire 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.
