About The Britton
The Britton provides specialist residential care in South Elmsall for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and experiences of trauma. The home is designed for people with complex needs, including those who have struggled to settle in previous care environments.
Kinwood Care places humanistic values, Positive Behaviour Support and DBT principles at the centre of its approach. Support is intended to reduce distress, build independence and improve quality of life through predictable routines, trusting relationships and psychologically informed surroundings. The service is residential rather than nursing-led, with a Registered Manager and Deputy Manager overseeing delivery.

How much does The Britton cost?

People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
