About Tomswood Lodge
Tomswood Lodge is a residential home in Ilford supporting adults with a range of needs, including people with a learning disability and autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, and those with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. We offer permanent places and respite stays. Many of the people who live here are younger adults, and the home is run with that in mind. Support is about having a life rather than being looked after: keeping up with friends and family, getting out into Ilford and the wider area, having choices about food, routine and how the day goes, and being helped to do things independently wherever possible. We should be open about our current position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We would rather set that out plainly than leave anyone to find it elsewhere. We know which parts of our practice were found wanting, we are working through them, and we are happy to discuss both the findings and what we are doing in response with anyone considering the home. What has not changed is our commitment to the people who live here and to being honest with their families when something is not right. If you would like to visit, ask us difficult questions, or see how we are getting on, you are genuinely welcome.
