About Ridgecott
Ridgecott provides residential support for up to 10 men and women who are autistic or have learning disabilities or mental health needs. The home is designed for people who benefit from a supported living environment, with bedrooms and self-contained flats forming part of the accommodation at the Plympton site.
Support is delivered within Priory’s wider care network, which includes assessments, residential support and specialist mental health services.

Questions families ask
How much does Ridgecott cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ridgecott for its weekly fee. As a guide, Plymouth council paid on average £873 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 Ridgecott whether it takes residents funded by Plymouth 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.
