About Ponderosa
Ponderosa is registered as a care home without nursing for children and younger adults with learning disabilities, sensory impairment and related support needs. Its registered scope also includes mental health, younger adults and children.
The service sits within Cambian Children’s Services, a wider organisation offering specialist education, residential services and fostering. Ponderosa is therefore positioned within a regulated children’s care network rather than an older-person residential setting. Detailed facilities and branch-specific programmes are not established, so the clearest profile is specialist residential care for younger people requiring structured support.

Questions families ask
How much does Ponderosa cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ponderosa for its weekly fee. As a guide, Doncaster council paid on average £1,361 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 Ponderosa whether it takes residents funded by Doncaster 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.
