About Whiteheather
Whiteheather supports people with learning disabilities in a warm bungalow in a quiet coastal town. Everyone living there has private space, while the wider Consensus service provides residential and supported living support for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.
The provider also offers referral pathways for professionals, families and people seeking support, with services tailored to individual needs and aspirations. For Whiteheather, the local evidence specifically establishes learning disability support, private space and the bungalow setting. These details make it relevant to people looking for residential support within a smaller home rather than a large institutional environment.

Questions families ask
How much does Whiteheather cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Whiteheather for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £1,085 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 Whiteheather whether it takes residents funded by Essex 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.
