About Lynfield
Lynfield provides contemporary residential support for people with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy and mental health concerns.

The team also supports people to pursue interests such as sailing, music and gardening. Its approach includes Positive Behaviour Support for people who present behaviours of concern, with assessment used to establish whether the home can meet additional health needs.

How much does Lynfield cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Lynfield for its weekly fee. As a guide, Norfolk council paid on average £1,129 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.
