About The Meadows Short Break Centre
The Meadows Short Break Centre provides short breaks for adults with learning disabilities, alongside a wider Jubilee House Care Trust service for children and adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex mental health needs. Its service menu identifies Meadows as the adult short breaks provision.
Short breaks give people receiving support a planned residential setting for meaningful activities and daily support, while parents and carers gain time to rest. The organisation also offers support under Hertfordshire’s Short Breaks Local Offer for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The centre therefore suits families looking for structured respite and opportunities to build independence and social interaction.

Do they provide support through Hertfordshire’s Short Breaks Local Offer?

How much does The Meadows Short Break Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Meadows Short Break Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £2,400 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.
