About Low Lane House
Low Lane House supports adults with learning disabilities and associated complex needs through residential care and 24-hour support. Its stated scope includes autism, challenging behaviour and epilepsy, alongside communication and mental health support needs. The homes are modern, spacious houses that typically accommodate six to eight people, with individual bedrooms.
Support is planned around personal needs, preferences and aspirations, using care plans and risk assessments to encourage independence and positive risk-taking. Activities can include swimming, bowling, cookery and art, with further opportunities for life skills and employment training. Referrals are accepted from local authorities, the NHS, professionals and families. 24-hour support for adults with learning disabilities is central to the service.

Questions families ask
How much does Low Lane House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Low Lane House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Middlesbrough council paid on average £1,768 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 Low Lane House whether it takes residents funded by Middlesbrough 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.
