About Little Haven
Little Haven is a residential care home in Lewisham, in this part of London, supporting adults with mental health needs. We also offer respite stays for people who need support for a shorter period. The people who live here call it home, and our job is to help each of them live the life they want within it. Support is planned one person at a time. We help with personal care where it is needed, with cooking, laundry and shopping, with medication and appointments, and with managing money and correspondence. We also support people to get out locally, to keep up the activities and interests they value and to stay in touch with family and friends. Mental health support asks for patience and for noticing things early. We take time to learn how each person tells us they are struggling, what helps them settle when a day goes badly and which parts of the week need to stay predictable. We work alongside colleagues in local health teams where that is useful, and we would far rather act on a small change than wait for a crisis. Where someone wants more independence, we work towards it at their pace rather than ours. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep it by getting ordinary things right, and we keep asking the people who live here whether this feels like their own home.
