About Woodside Court
Woodside Court is a residential care home in Croydon supporting adults whose mental health has made living independently difficult. Some people stay with us for a long while as things settle. Others come for respite, either a planned break or a short period somewhere calm when home has become hard to manage. What we offer is a steady house, staff who are around without hovering, and a routine that people help to shape themselves. In practice that can mean support with medication and appointments, help getting back into cooking, budgeting or using public transport, someone to go along the first few times, or simply company at the end of a bad day. We work closely with community mental health teams, GPs and social workers so that what happens here joins up with everything happening outside. Mental health does not improve in a straight line and we do not expect it to. Some weeks ask very little of us and some ask a great deal, and neither is treated as a failure or a setback to be managed away. The people living here are adults and we treat them as adults, which means risks are discussed with the person rather than decided over their head, and we would rather support somebody to try something than talk them out of it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Woodside Court for yourself or for someone you work with, come and spend some time here and ask us anything.
