About Laburnum House
Residential support is available at Laburnum House for six men and women with a primary learning disability diagnosis, including autistic people and those with Prader-Willi syndrome. The home is arranged as a small service on a residential street near Folkestone town centre.
Support helps residents make choices about their care, identify personal goals and live with as much independence as possible. Priory describes the environment as safe and homely, with support shaped around individual needs. Laburnum House provides a focused residential setting for adults with learning disabilities, rather than a general older-person care service.

Questions families ask
How much does Laburnum House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Laburnum House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,096 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 Laburnum House whether it takes residents funded by Kent 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.
