About The Wheelhouse
The Wheelhouse provides residential support for three autistic males or males with a learning disability. The home is designed to help residents build independence through positive reinforcement, access to the community and support with daily living skills. Its setting is on a private road near the town centre and seafront.
The service is suited to a small residential arrangement where support can be shaped around individual choices, routines and abilities. The team works with residents to develop independence while maintaining a safe and structured home environment. The Wheelhouse forms part of Priory’s wider care and support services, but this location’s stated provision is specifically residential support for three males.

Questions families ask
How much does The Wheelhouse cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Wheelhouse for its weekly fee. As a guide, East Sussex council paid on average £2,118 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The Wheelhouse whether it takes residents funded by East Sussex 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.
