About Us

Abba Residential Home is a care home in Waltham Forest, London, supporting adults who are living with a mental health condition. 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 a deliberate choice. Stability comes more easily somewhere people know each other, where the staff are familiar and where daily life feels ordinary rather than clinical. Residents have their own rooms and a real say in how their days run, what they eat and how they spend their time.

Support is planned with each person rather than decided for them. We talk about what helps, what makes things harder, what the early signs look like when somebody is becoming unwell and what they want us to do about it. That plan belongs to the resident and is revisited as things change. We encourage independence in cooking, budgeting, travel, work or study wherever someone wants to build those skills, and we support at whatever level is actually needed.

We work closely with community mental health teams, GPs and other professionals so that support is consistent, and we welcome families and advocates where residents want them involved.

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.
