About Duncan House
Duncan House supports adults with learning disabilities through a charitable care setting focused on individual goals, independence and everyday quality of life. The organisation’s values begin with finding out what matters to each person and helping them make it happen, with people supported and staff contributing to how services work.
Its approach centres on relationships, listening and practical collaboration rather than profit, and the wider trust describes support for adults with learning disabilities across its services. Families looking for a setting where personal priorities guide support can explore how Duncan House connects care with community, shared decision-making and a commitment to getting things right for each person.

Questions families ask
How much does Duncan House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Duncan House 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Duncan House whether it takes residents funded by West Berkshire 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.
