About Sophia Care Home

Sophia is a residential care home in Harrow supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We also offer respite stays. We run the home on the basis that it belongs to the people who live in it, and that shows in the everyday decisions. People choose how their rooms look, what goes on the shopping list, how a weekend is spent and who is part of it. These may sound like small matters, but when much of somebody's life has already been arranged by other people, they are not small at all. Support is planned individually and reviewed as people change, because confidence and ambition do not stand still. Some people here want to take on more for themselves, and our part is to step back at the right pace and stay near enough to help if it does not go to plan. Others want a settled, predictable life with reliable support around it, which is an equally proper outcome. For autistic people, we treat the environment as part of the care. Noise, lighting, changes of staff and short notice can shape a whole week, so we plan for them rather than reacting afterwards. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You would be welcome to visit.
