About Mill Lane
Mill Lane sits within Salutem’s adult care services for people with autism, learning disabilities, mental health issues and complex needs. The registered residential care home is relevant to adults who need specialist social care support, with the wider organisation serving people from 18 upwards.
Salutem’s broader model includes tailored care plans focused on individual goals and aspirations, alongside residential care, supported living and day opportunities. The branch-specific evidence is limited, so those wider services are not presented as all being delivered at Mill Lane. Adult specialist services are the clearest distinction in the available business profile.

Questions families ask
How much does Mill Lane cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Mill Lane for its weekly fee. As a guide, Cambridgeshire council paid on average £993 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 Mill Lane whether it takes residents funded by Cambridgeshire 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.
