About Walkern Lodge
Walkern Lodge provides outcome-focused residential care for adults with learning disabilities who may have behaviours that challenge. The service is suited to people needing structured support in a home where care is centred on individual outcomes and ongoing involvement from the team.
Walkern Lodge forms part of Cygnet’s adult social care services, with a registered manager responsible for the provision of care. Cygnet also offers wider specialist services for learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs, although the home’s stated focus is adults with learning disabilities. Families and carers have a dedicated information area, and referrals can be made through the provider.

How much does Walkern Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Walkern Lodge 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.
