Are staff trained to support people with epilepsy?
Yes. Staff receive comprehensive training in epilepsy, physical disabilities and learning disabilities, supporting residents’ needs, choices and aspirations.
How much does Russell House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Russell House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Buckinghamshire council paid on average £1,183 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.
