About The Farmhouse
The Farmhouse is a care home in Hornchurch. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, mostly younger adults, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather set that out at the start than have you find it later. An inspection that identifies shortfalls is telling us something we needed to know. We have accepted the findings, we are working through them, and any family considering us is entitled to ask exactly what has changed since and to hold us to the answer. The intention of the home has not altered. People here are adults with their own preferences, and support is planned with each of them individually: how they want the day to run, what they want to do for themselves, how they communicate, and what makes a place feel safe rather than unsettling. Routines are kept steady and changes explained in advance, because unpredictability costs some of the people we support a great deal. Respite stays give families a break and give the person a short stay that is planned rather than sudden. If you are looking at The Farmhouse for a relative, please visit, speak to the people living here, read the inspection report and judge us on what you find rather than on what we write.
