Questions families ask

What should learning disability care homes offer?

Good learning disability support should be person-centred, promote choice and help people maintain skills and community connections. Ask how communication and decision-making are adapted for each resident.

How many learning disability care homes are there in Peterborough?

13 learning disability care homes in Peterborough are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Peterborough?

Peterborough council paid on average £944 a week for residential care and £974 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £2,123 and £1,556. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.
