About Tanfield House

Tanfield House is a residential care home in Brent, north west London, supporting older people and adults living with mental health conditions. Mental health support in a residential setting works best when it is steady and undramatic. People come to us at different points: some after a long spell in hospital, some when living alone has stopped being workable, some while they rebuild after a difficult stretch. What most people need is not intensity but stability, and a place where the basics are taken care of while they find their footing again. So we keep the house calm and predictable. There is help with personal care and medication for those who want it, meals cooked here, and staff on hand at any hour. Beyond that, people run their own lives. They decide how they spend the day, who visits, what they eat and how much they join in. People generally know their own patterns better than we do, and our job is to be useful in the way they have told us is useful rather than to impose our own idea of what recovery ought to look like. Brent is a varied borough and the people who live here come from many different backgrounds, which shapes practical things such as food, language and faith. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch.
