About Four Winds
Four Winds provides residential care and supported living for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs. The Colchester service sits within Consensus, whose residential and supported living services are tailored to individual needs and aspirations.
Support can include help with daily life, personal goals and meaningful opportunities, with families, professionals and the person receiving support involved in finding a suitable placement. Consensus describes its services as focused on enriching lives, creating memories and helping people flourish. Four Winds is therefore relevant to adults and families looking for a home-based support setting rather than a general older-person care home.

Questions families ask

Do they offer residential and supported living services?
Yes. Consensus provides support through residential and supported living services, with environments tailored to individual needs.
How much does Four Winds cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Four Winds for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £1,085 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.
