About Gencare Care Home

Gencare Care Home is a residential care home in Harrow. We support a notably mixed group of people and that is a deliberate choice rather than an accident. Older adults live here. So do younger adults. Among the people we support are those with a learning disability, autistic people, people with a physical disability, and people who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing. Running a home with that mix takes more thought than running one where everyone is alike, because no single routine will do. So we work out what each person's day ought to look like and then make the house fit around it. One resident may want early meals and quiet evenings. Another may be out at a day service and back late with shopping and opinions. Both are reasonable. Access and communication get real attention here. Where sight or hearing has gone, an ordinary building starts working against a person, so we think about light, contrast, noise and how staff approach somebody. Where information is taken in differently, we slow down, use pictures, write things down and check rather than assume. We offer respite and trial stays as well as permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and visit, and please spend some of the time talking to residents rather than only to staff.
