About Wycliffe
Adults with learning disabilities are the clear focus of Wycliffe, a residential care home registered to provide care without nursing. The service information identifies learning disability support as its local care scope and positions the home within residential adult care.
Its wider organisation, Oswald House, has supported adults with learning disabilities since 1990. Published material centres on learning disability support, reasonable adjustments and care-home guidance. Wycliffe’s available information is focused rather than extensive, but it clearly establishes residential support for adults with learning disabilities. This makes the home relevant to families seeking a dedicated learning disability setting rather than a broad nursing service.

Questions families ask
How much does Wycliffe cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wycliffe for its weekly fee. As a guide, County Durham council paid on average £1,094 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 Wycliffe whether it takes residents funded by County Durham 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.
