About Lavender Lodge
Adults with learning disabilities can receive structured residential support at Lavender Lodge within Nouvita’s specialist adult social care network. The setting is suited to people who need stability while working towards recovery and greater independence.
Nouvita’s wider residential model can bridge hospital care and independent living, with community engagement and independence-building opportunities forming part of the pathway. Lavender Lodge is registered as a care home without nursing, while the organisation also provides nursing residential care and specialist mental health services elsewhere. The home contributes to a structured residential pathway for adults needing ongoing support.

Questions families ask
How much does Lavender Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Lavender Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £922 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 Lavender Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Hertfordshire 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.
