About Unicorn House
Unicorn House supports adults with learning disabilities and associated mental health problems in a homely residential setting in Central Croydon. Its twelve single rooms provide private space, while residents are supported to personalise their rooms and take part in decisions about home life.
Support focuses on independence, social inclusion, relationships and everyday living skills. Residents can also use the organisation’s Day Centre, Action Zone, for activities ranging from arts and crafts to shopping trips and visits into London. Each person has a care plan shaped around individual needs and preferences, with regular meetings helping residents influence what happens in their home.

How much does Unicorn House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Unicorn House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Croydon council paid on average £1,255 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.
