About Ganwick House
Ganwick House is a residential care home near Barnet, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults and people managing mental health conditions. Respite stays are part of what we do. We are small on purpose, so people here are known as individuals rather than managed as a group. For some that matters more than any facility. People choose their own rooms, share properly in the shopping and the meals, and have a hand in how the place runs. Where somebody can do a thing themselves, our job is to make it possible rather than to do it faster on their behalf. Attitude counts as much as skill here. Several of the people living with us have been judged rather than helped before, and staff who arrive with opinions about how somebody came to need support are of no use to them. We are careful with routine and generous with warning, because for several people here knowing what is happening is what makes a day workable. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come without ringing ahead, because that is the version of us worth seeing.
