About Sinon House Therapeutic Unit
Sinon House Therapeutic Unit provides therapeutic residential care for children and young people with complex needs, including learning disabilities, mental health needs and eating disorders. Its pathway is designed to support vulnerable young people from childhood towards greater independence.
Care is delivered through a multidisciplinary team and structured therapeutic approaches, with placements planned alongside local authorities, social workers and families. The service combines intensive support with development of skills, resilience and stability. A clear pathway of care from intensive support to confident independence makes Sinon House particularly relevant for young people needing sustained therapeutic care rather than a standard residential placement.

How much does Sinon House Therapeutic Unit cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Sinon House Therapeutic Unit for its weekly fee. As a guide, Medway council paid on average £2,186 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.
