About Kemsing Road Respite Service
Kemsing Road in Greenwich is a residential home set up mainly for respite, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, including younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite carries a lot of weight for the families who use it. For the person staying, it should be a proper break with things to do and people to spend time with, not simply a bed somewhere else. For the family at home, it should be a stretch of time where they genuinely stop worrying. We take both halves of that seriously. We plan a stay in advance with the person and the people who know them best, so that routines, preferences, communication and anything that might unsettle someone are understood before they arrive rather than worked out afterwards. Where somebody comes back to us regularly, that knowledge builds, and returning starts to feel familiar rather than strange. Communication gets close attention. A good many of the people who stay with us do not rely on speech, and understanding somebody properly is what makes a short stay work. Greenwich is on the doorstep and people use it while they are here. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking into respite in south east London, please contact us and come and have a look round.
