About Elmcroft
Adults with learning disabilities can access residential care at Elmcroft, which supports this group without nursing provision. The home’s work centres on supporting adults with learning disabilities, with information about reasonable adjustments and learning disability and autism training also available.
Elmcroft’s confirmed focus is residential support rather than nursing care. Its public material does not establish detailed accommodation, activities, staffing arrangements, fees or availability, so the clearest reason to consider the home is its focus on adults with learning disabilities.

Questions families ask
How much does Elmcroft cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Elmcroft for its weekly fee. As a guide, County Durham council paid on average £1,094 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 Elmcroft whether it takes residents funded by County Durham 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.
