About Charlton House
Charlton House is a residential care home in Greenwich. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and we offer respite stays. We should say plainly that our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accepted what was found, we have been working through it, and if you are considering us for yourself or a relative, please ask us what has changed and speak to the people who live here. The house is run with the people in it rather than around them. Residents choose how their rooms look, what they eat, how they spend their time and what part they play in the household. Cooking, shopping and laundry are things people do with support where they can, because independence grows out of doing things rather than being told about them. Communication takes different forms here and we learn each person's, whether speech, signing, pictures, objects or the particular way somebody shows they have had enough. Our staff are trained in positive behaviour support and we keep the team as consistent as we can. For autistic residents we keep routines stable and give notice of change well in advance. This part of London is home for the people who live here and we support them to use local shops, leisure facilities and groups. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and look round properly.
