About Penberth Harland

Penberth Harland is a residential care home in Lewisham, south London, supporting adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people living with a mental health condition, including younger adults. We try to run the house as a household rather than as a service. People have a say in the everyday things, meals, routines, how their own space looks, and support is offered on their terms wherever that is possible. We start by learning how someone communicates, what settles them and what they actually want their life to contain, then we build the support around that instead of around a template. Practical help covers personal care where it is needed, medication and health appointments, cooking, shopping and budgeting, and getting out into London for work, college, clubs, worship or simply to see people. Where a person wants to take a risk that most adults take without a second thought, our job is to find a way to make it safe enough rather than to refuse out of habit. Respite stays are available as well, offering a planned break for people who usually live at home with family. We work openly with families, social workers and community health teams. If you are considering a placement in south London, please arrange to visit and see how the house actually runs.
