About Fairkytes
We at Fairkytes are proud to offer a welcoming residential care home in the heart of Hornchurch, providing specialist support for adults living with learning disabilities and autism. Our home is a place where individuality is celebrated and every resident is encouraged to live life on their own terms. Set within the familiar and well connected community of Hornchurch in the London Borough of Havering, our home benefits from the calm, suburban character of the RM postcode area. The local surroundings offer easy access to nearby parks, shops and community amenities, helping our residents feel genuinely part of the neighbourhood they call home. Inside, we aim to create a comfortable, homely environment where personal touches, familiar routines and a friendly atmosphere come together to support a real sense of belonging. Our specialism in residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autism shapes everything we do. We take time to understand each person we support, building care around their preferences, communication style, sensory needs and personal goals. For some residents this means encouragement with daily living skills and gentle routines that bring structure and reassurance. For others it might involve support to pursue hobbies, attend community activities, build friendships or develop greater independence. We work closely with families, advocates and healthcare professionals to ensure that the people who know our residents best remain involved in decisions about their care. For relatives, this means peace of mind that their loved one is being looked after by a team that listens, adapts and treats every individual with dignity and respect. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in February 2023, awarded us an overall rating of Good, with Good ratings across the Safe, Effective, Caring and Responsive domains. We are open about the fact that the Well-led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we view this honestly as an opportunity to strengthen our leadership, governance and continuous improvement practices. We are committed to acting on feedback and ensuring that the quality of care our residents receive every day continues to reflect the warmth, professionalism and consistency that families rightly expect. If you are exploring residential care options in Hornchurch or the wider Havering area for a loved one with a learning disability or autism, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing the right home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about our approach and help you feel confident about the next step.
