About Candover House
Candover House is a residential care home in Hornchurch supporting adults, including adults with learning disabilities and autism, and we offer planned respite stays as well as longer term places. This is somebody's home, and that governs how we work. People here have their own rooms, their own routines and their own views about how things should be done, and our staff fit around them rather than asking everybody to follow one pattern. We help with personal care, medicines, meals, money and the running of a household, and we hold back wherever somebody can manage without us, because skills that go unused tend to disappear. For adults with learning disabilities and autism, the specifics are everything. How a person communicates, what makes a place feel bearable, how much warning they need before anything changes, and which parts of the day they want to handle alone are all things we learn from the person rather than from a file. When change cannot be avoided, we prepare for it carefully and at their pace. We also support people to have a life beyond the building, keeping up with family and friends and getting to the activities, groups, work or college that matter to them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a place here, please come and visit and talk to the people who already live with us.
