About Rowan Cottage
Residential care for adults with learning disabilities is provided at Rowan Cottage within Choice Care’s wider residential and supported living network. The provider also supports adults with autism, mental health conditions and associated needs, although those wider categories are not necessarily specific to this home.
Choice Care describes support shaped around each person’s life, with options intended to help people live independently, share with others or choose a quieter setting. Its wider approach includes therapies, referrals and family involvement, while local service availability can vary. Rowan Cottage is relevant to adults seeking residential support where care fits your life, with the precise level and type matched during referral.

Questions families ask
How much does Rowan Cottage cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Rowan Cottage for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Berkshire council paid on average £1,380 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 Rowan Cottage 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.
