About Us

Faircross Care Home is a residential home in Barking supporting adults who have a learning disability and adults who are autistic.

We are a household rather than an institution, and the people who live here have a genuine say in how it runs. Support is agreed with each person and ranges from help with personal care and medication to practical assistance with cooking, budgeting, shopping and appointments, to simply having reliable people nearby while somebody gets on with college, work or seeing friends. We provide what is wanted and no more, because taking over is easy and unhelpful.

For the autistic people we support, predictability does much of the work. We give notice before anything changes, we pay attention to noise, light and how busy the shared areas get and we learn how each person prefers to be given information. Where somebody becomes distressed, our first question is what caused it rather than how to manage it.

Being in east London means shops, buses, parks and appointments are all close at hand, and we encourage people to make use of that.

Respite stays are available alongside permanent places.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
