About Timaru
Timaru supports adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, including those with complex needs and behaviours of distress, in a residential home near Romsey. Referrals assess whether the home can meet each individual’s needs.
Support is shaped around independence, wellbeing and personal goals, with access to internal specialists for complex behaviour. Staff receive PROACT-SCIPr-UK training and apply Positive Behaviour Support to the people they support. Transition planning can begin once a placement is accepted, helping someone move into adult life through a planned process. Timaru provides co-produced transition planning alongside specialist support for individuals and families.

How much does Timaru cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Timaru for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hampshire council paid on average £1,214 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.
