About Purley House
Children and young people unable to live with their families can receive residential support at Purley House for emotional, learning, social and behavioural difficulties. The wider organisation also runs supported living, therapeutic education and specialist placements for young people vulnerable to sexual or criminal exploitation.
Young people can access education through therapeutic schools or outreach provision. Daily work uses therapeutic principles, creative care planning and child-focused pathways, with individual sessions focused on confidence, self-esteem and safety awareness. Local-agency partnerships support safeguarding and longer-term stability, while the organisation’s stated aim is to give children and young people in care stability, beautiful homes, support and time to heal.

Questions families ask
How much does Purley House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Purley House for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Berkshire council paid on average £2,107 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 Purley House whether it takes residents funded by West Berkshire 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.
