About Dunelm
Dunelm sits within the North East Autism Society’s residential care services for people with learning disabilities. The wider organisation connects year-round residential placements with supported living, family support and short breaks for autistic and neurodivergent people.
Adult programmes can include tailored activities, vocational and craft skills, and opportunities to develop independent-living abilities. The organisation also provides education, employment support and social services, creating links beyond residential accommodation. Dunelm is relevant to adults who need residential support within a broader autism-focused network that keeps practical skills, participation and future independence in view.

How much does Dunelm cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dunelm for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sunderland council paid on average £931 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.
