About Us

25 Garrads Road is a small residential home in Lambeth, south London, run by CareTech. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health and people with physical disabilities, and we also offer respite stays. We are a house on an ordinary street and we run it as the residents' home. People choose how their bedrooms look, have a real say in the meals and the shopping, and get involved in cooking and looking after the place as much as they want to. Support covers personal care where it is needed, medication, health appointments and managing money, and it covers helping people get out to whatever interests them. London is on the doorstep and we are willing to do the planning and the practising it takes to use it confidently. Where physical disability is part of the picture, we think carefully about equipment, seating, transfers and access, because those details decide how much independence somebody actually has. Where communication takes a different form, we learn it, record it so that it survives a change of staff, and take advice from families and from the health colleagues who know somebody well. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families, social workers and health colleagues are welcome to visit and see how the house runs.
