About Us

We are Gaywood Street, a small residential care home in Southwark. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and we also offer respite stays.

Being a small house is deliberate. It means the people who live here are not managing a constant stream of unfamiliar staff, that routines can be genuinely individual rather than set by the demands of a large rota, and that we usually know without being told when somebody is having a difficult day.

We start from what each person wants their week to look like and work back to the support that makes it possible. That might take in college or work, a regular swim, cooking their own meals, seeing family, or getting out across London. Where somebody finds noise or change hard, we keep to a predictable rhythm and prepare properly for anything out of the ordinary.

This is their home, so decisions about food, decoration and how time is spent belong to the people living in it. We also talk risks through with the person and with those who know them well, because being overprotective is easier for us and worse for them.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
