About Leybourne
Leybourne provides residential support for people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and sensory impairment, with an emphasis on individual outcomes, choice and independence. Its approach is built around detailed person-centred support plans developed with the individual, family and social worker or care manager.
The wider Adult Horizons service offers bespoke activity and sensory pathways, practical learning and purposeful activities. People can work on communication, employability, independence and choice-making skills, take part in social enterprises and develop interests through practical or sensory activities. Adult day services run from 9am to 4pm with a lunch break, while Leybourne itself is part of Percy Hedley’s residential and supported living provision.

How much does Leybourne cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Leybourne for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Tyneside council paid on average £921 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.
