About Ringstead House

Ringstead House is a residential care home in Lewisham caring for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia or mental health conditions, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Because the people who live here have quite different needs and ages, we plan around individuals rather than running the place to one pattern. Residents choose when to get up, what to eat, where to spend their day and how their support is provided, and rooms belong to the people living in them. Supporting someone with dementia is mostly about steadiness and knowing enough about the person's life to make sense of what they are telling us. We keep routines and faces as consistent as we can and respond to the feeling behind a question rather than correcting the detail. For residents with physical disabilities or sensory loss, the right equipment and sensible adjustments are what make independence possible. For autistic residents and those with learning disabilities, we learn how each person communicates and prepare properly for change. This part of London is home to people from many backgrounds, and we take language, faith and food seriously rather than treating them as details. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and look round.
