About Oxford Respite Service
Oxford Respite Service supports children, young people and adults with learning disabilities or autism through tailored care and support. The service is relevant to people who need planned assistance for a short period, alongside broader disability support.
Its wider model includes supported living, outreach and employment opportunities, with teams working alongside families, professionals and local networks. Support is built around individual needs, preferences and aspirations, including people with complex needs whose behaviour can challenge their environment. The organisation takes a whole-life approach across different ages and stages. Its short breaks offer sits within a wider programme designed to support independence and participation.

Questions families ask
How much does Oxford Respite Service cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oxford Respite Service for its weekly fee. As a guide, Oxfordshire council paid on average £1,013 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 Oxford Respite Service whether it takes residents funded by Oxfordshire 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.
