About Luton Council Respite and Shared Lives Service
Luton Council Respite and Shared Lives Service is registered as a care home without nursing and is associated with respite and shared-lives support. Its registered scope includes older people, adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical disabilities and younger adults.
The service sits within Luton’s wider health and social care provision. The clearest practical focus comes from its name, which points towards temporary respite and shared-lives arrangements rather than a conventional nursing-home service. Respite and shared-lives support makes it relevant to people exploring alternative care arrangements for themselves or someone they support.

Questions families ask
How much does Luton Council Respite and Shared Lives Service cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Luton Council Respite and Shared Lives Service for its weekly fee. As a guide, Luton council paid on average £893 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 Luton Council Respite and Shared Lives Service whether it takes residents funded by Luton 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.
