About Downview Residential Home
Downview Residential Home provides specialist residential care for people with learning disabilities, mental health needs and behaviours that could challenge. The family-run home supports residents through core care hours or one-to-one allocation, with an emphasis on choice, control and participation in care planning.
Residents can help write their own care plans, attend house meetings and shape the support they receive. Downview also runs activities, supports positive risk-taking and encourages community participation, including holidays abroad. Its autism-friendly setting includes staff leads for autism, medication and health and safety, while referrals come mainly from local authorities but are accepted from outside the county.

How much does Downview Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Downview Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Berkshire council paid on average £1,380 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.
