About Waymead Short Term Care
Waymead Short Term Care provides residential support for adults with learning disabilities. It is registered as a care home without nursing, making it relevant to people who need a supported setting rather than nursing-led provision.
The service’s name reflects a short-term focus, while its registered category confirms residential care for people with learning disabilities. This creates a defined setting for adults who need temporary residential support and assistance with everyday living. Short-term residential care is the clearest practical feature of the service.

Questions families ask
How much does Waymead Short Term Care cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Waymead Short Term Care for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bracknell Forest council paid on average £1,166 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Waymead Short Term Care whether it takes residents funded by Bracknell Forest 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.
