About Meadows
A seven-resident home in Braintree, Meadows provides residential care with en-suite rooms for people with learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical disabilities and sensory impairment. The care home sits within a wider Essex organisation offering support across several settings.
The organisation also provides supported living and domiciliary care, while its published conditions include autism, epilepsy and brain injury. Meadows therefore offers a small accommodation-based setting within a broader pathway that can include support in someone’s own home. Its en-suite rooms are part of the residential accommodation described for this Braintree service.

Questions families ask
How much does Meadows cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Meadows for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £2,407 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 Meadows whether it takes residents funded by Essex 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.
