About Smitham Downs Road
Smitham Downs Road supports adults with learning disabilities and younger adults who need specialist residential care. The service sits within Achieve together’s wider support model for people with autism, complex needs and other social care requirements. Its person-centred Wheel of Engagement framework considers identity, wellbeing, relationships, aspirations and independence when planning support.
The provider also supports transitions from children’s services into adult life and can help with hospital discharge into supported living or residential care. Support is designed around the whole person and shaped through collaboration with families, professionals and the individual. The focus is on building confidence, life skills and meaningful independence in a suitable care setting.

Questions families ask
How much does Smitham Downs Road cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Smitham Downs Road for its weekly fee. As a guide, Croydon council paid on average £1,660 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 Smitham Downs Road whether it takes residents funded by Croydon 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.
