About Meridan House
Meridan House is a residential home in Barnet supporting adults living with mental health conditions. Most of the people here are younger adults, and the emphasis is on building a life rather than simply being accommodated. A settled place to live does a great deal on its own. Beyond that, we help with the practical scaffolding: keeping on top of medication and appointments, managing money, cooking, looking after a room, and having someone around who knows you well enough to notice when things are shifting. Where somebody wants to work, study or rebuild contact with family, we support that at their pace. We work closely with community mental health teams and with anyone the person already trusts. Decisions get made with the resident rather than about them, and we treat a difficult stretch as part of the picture rather than as evidence that something has gone wrong. Recovery does not run in a straight line and we do not pretend otherwise. Respite stays are available too, which can give somebody structure and support for a short period when managing elsewhere has become hard. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking for a placement in north London, whether for yourself or someone you support, please get in touch. We will tell you honestly whether we think this is the right place.
