About Wansbeck House
Wansbeck House provides residential support for children and younger adults with learning disabilities and additional complex needs. The service sits within a wider disability organisation offering care, education, lifelong learning and adult support.
Its approach aims to help residents become as independent as possible within the service and community, while making choices about everyday life and future goals. Support focuses on empowerment, inclusion and opportunity rather than simply accommodation. The home is relevant to people who need structured residential care alongside opportunities to develop abilities and take part in a supportive community.

How much does Wansbeck House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wansbeck House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Newcastle upon Tyne council paid on average £2,077 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.
