About The Lodge
Residential care and 24-hour support at The Lodge are intended for adults with learning disabilities and associated complex needs, including autism, epilepsy and communication difficulties. The homes typically accommodate six to eight people, with spacious bedrooms and many en-suite facilities.
Care planning and risk assessment reflect individual needs, preferences and goals, while support encourages independence, positive risk-taking and community involvement. Activities are selected around personal preferences and can include swimming, walking and cookery. Referrals can come from public bodies or families, and visits are welcomed before decisions are made. Homes typically accommodate six to eight people, creating a smaller residential setting for adults needing structured support.

How much does The Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Yorkshire council paid on average £2,125 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.
