About Highbury Gardens
Here at Highbury Gardens, we offer residential care to adults in the heart of Ilford, Redbridge, and we take genuine pride in creating a home that feels exactly that — a home. We support people with a range of needs, including learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and physical disabilities. We also welcome younger adults and offer respite care for those who need a short break or a period of additional support. Whatever brings someone to us, we work to understand them as an individual first and foremost, building care around their life rather than fitting their life around a routine. Our team knows that moving into a care home, or supporting a loved one to do so, can feel like a significant step. We try to make that transition as straightforward and as comfortable as possible, keeping communication open with residents, families and anyone else involved in someone's support. We want people to feel informed, heard and genuinely involved in decisions about their own care. Day to day, we focus on the things that make life meaningful — whether that is maintaining independence, staying connected to the community, enjoying familiar routines or trying something new. We encourage residents to shape their own days rather than simply fitting into ours. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, and we see that as recognition of the consistent effort our whole team puts in, not as a ceiling. We are always looking at how we can do things better and listening to the people we support to make sure we are getting it right. If you would like to find out more about Highbury Gardens or come and have a look around, we would be very happy to hear from you.
