About Woodpecker Lodge
Woodpecker Lodge provides residential support for six men and women with learning disabilities near Ross-on-Wye. The home is set on its own grounds around four miles from the town centre and supports residents to build independence both at home and in the community.
The service forms part of Priory’s wider specialist care provision, but the local evidence identifies Woodpecker Lodge specifically as a residential learning disability home. Its setting may suit people who need supervision and support while retaining opportunities for community life. Residential support for six males and females gives a clear indication of the home’s capacity and intended resident group.

Questions families ask
How much does Woodpecker Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Woodpecker Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Herefordshire council paid on average £1,295 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 Woodpecker Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Herefordshire 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.
