About Elsenham House
Elsenham House offers a 36-bed residential setting for adults with mental health or challenging behaviour needs. Enquiries can come from probation, social services, local authorities and health services, with an interview used to assess suitability before a placement proceeds.
Residents can access counselling, education and lifelong learning, as well as practical workshops covering nutrition, cooking and social skills. Workshops run in groups of three to six people and focus on useful knowledge and practical skills. Flexible accommodation supports planned movement towards greater independent living, while a week-long induction begins the arrival process.

How much does Elsenham House cost?

As a guide, Norfolk council paid on average £1,129 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.
