About Us

Waterfield Supported Homes at Dowanhill Road is a residential care home in Lewisham, London, supporting adults who are living with a mental health condition. We work mainly with younger adults, and we also offer respite stays for people who need a safe and settled place for a shorter period.

We are a small home, and that is deliberate. Recovery and stability are easier in a place where people know each other, where the staff are familiar and where daily life feels ordinary rather than clinical. People here have their own room and a real say in how their day goes. We encourage independence in cooking, budgeting, travel and work or study wherever someone wants to build those skills, and we support at whatever level is genuinely needed.

Support is planned with each resident rather than decided for them. We talk about what helps, what makes things harder, what early warning signs look like and what someone wants us to do if they become unwell. That plan is theirs, and it is revisited as things change.

We work closely with community mental health teams, GPs and other professionals so that care is consistent, and we welcome the involvement of families and advocates where residents want that.

The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. If you would like to know more about living here or to arrange a visit, please get in touch.
