Welcome to Woodcote Adult Respite

Based in long-established premises on a quiet street in the centre of Purley, this new unit offers both residential and respite care including a day care service for adults (aged 18 to 65) with disabilities.

The service is designed to meet the needs of those who require long-term placement as well as those occasions when their families/carers need respite, this can range from a day care service to an overnight stay or perhaps a fortnight's residence. Please bear in mind that our clients need to be independently mobile.

Manager David Condon, who has previously worked for the local authority in a respite home for children with disabilities and for MENCAP in a residential home, heads a staff of professionals who provide attentive round-the-clock care on a rota basis; there is always waking night cover. As a small and intimate home which comprises four respite and two residential beds, the emphasis is largely focused on 'hands on' care and maximum regard to safety. All members of staff have a strong sense of commitment to their duties, which are carried out professionally and with energy and enthusiasm. They are all officially registered with the CQC and all staff are CRB-checked.

Being independent means that families and carers can contact the home directly to make enquiries and discuss needs; there is no need to do so via the local authority. The staff are always happy to carry out pre-assessment visits to the client's home, day centre etc, to gain the fullest understanding of their individual circumstances and requirements. This also offers an early opportunity to discuss fees, which are graded according to the degree and type of care needed (universal discounts apply when the stay exceeds 10 days).

Remember: David and the staff are always happy to invite initial enquiries by telephone. Therefore if you would like more information, please call: 020 3509 9030 today or visit our website here.
