About Sahara Parkside

Sahara Parkside is a residential care home in Barking supporting older people and younger adults with a wide range of needs, including people with a learning disability or autism, people living with a mental health condition, people with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment and people managing an eating disorder. We also take respite bookings. Because people arrive here by very different routes, we do not run the house to one pattern. Some need a good deal of practical support through the day. Others mainly want a settled base, a routine that holds and somebody reliable to check in with. We work out which by asking, and we go on asking. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We would rather put that in front of you than leave you to discover it. We know which areas were raised, we have work under way, and we will go through the detail with any family considering a place here or already trusting us with a relative. People making this kind of decision deserve straight answers far more than they deserve a polished paragraph. If you are looking for a place or a respite stay in east London, please get in touch and come and see us for yourself.
