About 101 Brook Street

We are a residential care home on Brook Street in Erith, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. Most of those living here are younger adults, and respite stays are part of what we do. This is a home rather than a placement. People arrange their own rooms, share properly in the shopping and the meals, and have a hand in how the household runs. Where somebody can do a thing themselves, our job is to make that possible rather than to do it faster on their behalf. We are careful with routine and generous with warning, because for several people here knowing exactly what is happening and who is on shift is what separates an ordinary day from a hard one. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to leave that out and hope it passes unnoticed. We accept the findings, we are working through them, and we will not claim in a paragraph that everything is resolved. If you are considering this home for somebody, please visit unannounced, spend time with the people who live here, talk to relatives, and press us on what has changed and what has not yet.
