About Croftdown House
Croftdown House is a residential care home in Coulsdon supporting adults living with mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays. A great deal of what helps in this work is structural rather than clinical. Somewhere stable to live with a door that shuts. Meals at reliable times. A week with enough shape to give a reason to get up. People around who notice a change in mood without turning it into a crisis. A team that treats a difficult stretch as something to get through together rather than as evidence that a placement has failed. We work alongside community mental health teams and, where people want it, with families, so that everybody holds the same picture rather than separate pieces of it. For people with a physical disability, the practical detail is what counts, from equipment that fits properly to real respect for how somebody prefers to be helped. The people who live here make their own decisions about their time, their rooms and who is part of their lives, and our part is to make those decisions workable. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
