About Evergreen Lodge

Evergreen Lodge is a residential home in South Croydon supporting adults living with mental ill health. We keep the house small and the atmosphere calm, because both make a real difference to how settled people feel. Everybody has their own room to retreat to and a genuine say in how the household runs, from what gets cooked to how the shared space is used. Our approach is steady rather than intensive. We work closely with community mental health teams, follow agreed plans carefully, and make sure the person is properly involved in decisions about their own care rather than having them made over their head. Routines stay consistent and staff familiar, and we do not make a drama out of the harder days. Life here is meant to be a life. People are supported to keep going with education, work, family and friendships rather than putting everything on hold, and we give as much or as little help with that as somebody actually wants. For some, this is a settled long term home. For others it is a place to regain footing before moving on, and both are fine. Short respite stays are available. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and see how the house works.
