About Oswald House
Oswald House supports adults with learning disabilities and has worked in this field since 1990. Its residential service is intended for adults who need ongoing support, with the organisation also sharing resources about reasonable adjustments and learning-disability practice.
The available service information is concise, but the home’s stated focus is clear: supporting adults with learning disabilities in a residential setting. Its long-standing remit makes it relevant to adults and families looking for a service centred on learning-disability support rather than older-person care. Further details about the home’s daily activities, accommodation and care arrangements should be established directly during the selection process.

Questions families ask
How much does Oswald House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oswald House for its weekly fee. As a guide, County Durham council paid on average £1,094 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 Oswald House whether it takes residents funded by County Durham 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.
