About Fern Court
Fern Court provides long- and short-term individual care for people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health problems and behaviours considered challenging to others. The home is a nine-bed care setting with a recently built four-bedroom extension, designed around adults who need structured support in a residential environment.
The house sits between Churchdown and Down Hatherley, within reach of Gloucester and Cheltenham. Residents are encouraged to use local facilities and take part in community life, supported by home vehicles or local bus connections. The property includes en-suite rooms, wet rooms or showers, and hoisting systems in four ground-floor bedrooms.

Questions families ask
Do they accept adults over 18 for short-term care?
Yes. They offer both long and short-term placements for males and females over the age of 18.
Who is Fern Court suitable for?
It provides accommodation for people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours, and can also support individuals with moderate behavioural problems.
Does Fern Court have an activity centre?
Yes. Its purpose-built activity day centre, The Pod, is separately staffed by two qualified and experienced Activity Co-ordinators and has its own garden.
How much does Fern Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fern Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gloucestershire council paid on average £1,910 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
