Communication training includes Makaton and widget systems, while positive behaviour support planning helps staff respond consistently to individual needs.

Do staff support people who use Makaton?

How much does The Bungalow cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Bungalow for its weekly fee. As a guide, Central Bedfordshire council paid on average £2,167 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.
