About Somerford Place

Somerford Place is a residential care home in Haringey, north London. We support older people, and we also support younger adults, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, which means the people living here are not all at the same stage of life or looking for the same things. We see that mix as a strength, but it only works if support is genuinely built around each person rather than around the building. For one resident that might mean help with personal care and a settled, unhurried daily rhythm. For another it might mean support to travel independently, to hold down a college place or a job, to cook their own food and to have real privacy and a real say in their own home. London is on the doorstep and we use it. Getting out to a park, a market, a place of worship, a football ground or simply a favourite cafe is part of ordinary life, and losing that is one of the sharpest losses people feel when they move into care. We take respite bookings as well as permanent placements, whether that is to give a family carer a proper break or to give someone a chance to try the home before deciding. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to visit Somerford Place and talk to us about what you need.
