About Dramsdon
People with learning disabilities can live in Dramsdon’s five-bed residential bungalow in the village of Shalbourne. The modern home sits in attractive gardens, with residents and staff integrated into the local community and village life.
Dramsdon forms part of an organisation supporting learning disabilities, mental health needs and complex behavioural needs. Its smaller residential setting offers a community-based environment, while the wider organisation also provides supported living, short breaks and day opportunities. The bungalow’s village location, gardens and five-bed layout give families and professionals a concrete picture of the service.

Questions families ask
How much does Dramsdon cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dramsdon for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wiltshire council paid on average £1,089 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Dramsdon whether it takes residents funded by Wiltshire 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.
