About Colin Garden Lodge
Colin Garden Lodge is a residential care home in Barnet. We support older people and younger adults, including people with learning disabilities, autistic people, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available. Supporting people with such different needs under one roof only works if nobody is treated as a category. We take each person as they come, learn how they want their day to go and build support around that. Some residents want a lot of company and occupation. Others want quiet and predictability. There is room here for both. The building is arranged so that people with reduced mobility or restricted sight can get about safely and independently, and our staff are trained in moving and handling and in supporting people who communicate differently. Where somebody uses signing, pictures or objects we learn their way rather than expecting them to learn ours. For autistic residents we keep routines stable and flag change well in advance. Supporting mental health needs means patience, consistency and working alongside community teams rather than separately from them. We involve families and advocates as much as each person wants, hold regular residents meetings and act on what is raised. This part of London is home for the people who live here and we help them keep up local connections. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round.
