About The Shrubbery
The Shrubbery supports older people through residential care, including people living with dementia and those needing support with mental health or physical disabilities. It forms part of Adara Healthcare’s group of residential, dementia and nursing homes. The setting is designed for residents who need ongoing support in a shared care-home environment.
The setting accommodates up to 45 residents, with single rooms and a companion room. All rooms have en-suite facilities, while wheelchair access and passenger lifts support movement around the building. Shared lounges give residents places to meet alongside private accommodation. The home’s layout allows residents to gather in communal areas while retaining their own bedroom space.

Questions families ask
How much does The Shrubbery cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Shrubbery for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Northamptonshire council paid on average £1,151 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 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 The Shrubbery whether it takes residents funded by North Northamptonshire 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.
