About Foundation House
Foundation House provides long-term residential care for adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and acquired brain injuries. The home forms part of National Star’s wider support offer, which also includes therapy and medical support, work-based learning, respite and community wellbeing services.
Its role is residential rather than student accommodation, giving adults a place to live with ongoing support suited to their needs. Families and professionals considering a placement can explore how long-term living connects with the organisation’s wider care and learning services, including therapy and medical input where appropriate.

Questions families ask
How much does Foundation House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Foundation House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gloucestershire council paid on average £1,714 a week for a nursing care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,521 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 Foundation House whether it takes residents funded by Gloucestershire 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
