About Richford Gate
Richford Gate is a care home in Hammersmith and Fulham. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability and for autistic adults, and we also offer respite stays. The people who live here are Londoners, and living in London is part of the point. Buses, shops, libraries, cafes, colleges and local groups are all on the doorstep, and we support people to use them rather than building a separate world inside the building. Some of the people we support have jobs or voluntary placements, some study, and some are working on the ordinary skills that make independent living possible, from cooking a meal to managing money to travelling alone. Support is agreed with each person, and where somebody communicates in a way other than speech we learn it properly rather than guessing. Predictability matters a great deal to many of the people we support, so we keep routines stable, explain changes in advance and pay attention to noise, light and crowding, which can turn a good day into a hard one. Respite gives families a break and gives the person a short stay that is planned and familiar rather than a disruption. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. If you are looking for support for a relative in this part of London, we would be glad to show you round and answer whatever you want to ask.
