About Lavanda Villa
Lavanda Villa provides specialist residential support for adults with autism spectrum conditions, learning disabilities and epilepsy. It is a small specialist unit within Mentaur’s adult care services, supporting people whose needs may also include mental health requirements and a need for structured help with daily life.
The wider service is designed around encouraging independence and growth through personalised residential support and day opportunities. Lavanda Villa is registered as a care home without nursing, so its role is residential care and support rather than nursing provision. The service is aimed at adults with diverse needs who may benefit from a small specialist autism unit and a home setting built around individual support.

Questions families ask
How much does Lavanda Villa cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Lavanda Villa for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bedford council paid on average £1,906 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Lavanda Villa whether it takes residents funded by Bedford 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.
