About 16 Balnacraig Avenue (The Leaves)
16 Balnacraig Avenue is a small residential care home in Brent supporting older people, younger adults, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people with physical disabilities. Being small is the point. It means the people living here know one another properly and it means we know them properly too, which is what allows support to be genuinely individual rather than individual on paper. People decorate their own rooms, help decide what is cooked and when, and come and go to work, college, clubs and family as they choose. Support is worked out with each person and reviewed with them. Communication gets particular attention, and we use whatever suits the individual, whether that is speech, signing, symbols, objects of reference or simply knowing somebody well enough to understand what they are telling you. Short respite stays are available, which can give a family carer a break or let somebody see how they get on here first. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
