About Orchid House
Adults with learning disabilities, autism or mental health needs can receive residential support at Orchid House, with care shaped around individual routines, confidence and participation in daily life. The service offers a home setting for younger adults and others who need structured specialist support.
Choice Care begins with the person rather than a fixed type of support. Plans consider the life someone wants to lead, the people around them and the help needed at each stage. Specialist support and therapy are available through the wider organisation, alongside supported living and other residential settings. Orchid House is distinguished by support shaped around the whole person.

Questions families ask
What therapies can specialist support include?
Depending on individual circumstances, specialist support can include psychology, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and positive behaviour support.
Can Choice Care provide support in someone's own home?
Yes. Choice Care provides support in a person's own home as well as residential living, supported living and day opportunities.
Who does Choice Care support?

How much does Orchid House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Orchid House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Swindon council paid on average £2,580 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.
