About Lyncroft
Here at Lyncroft, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Waltham Forest, London. We are proud to support a diverse group of people, including those living with mental health conditions and younger adults who need a little extra help to live well and feel at home. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. Our team works hard to make sure that everyone who comes through our doors feels genuinely welcomed, respected, and listened to. Care here is built around the individual, not the other way around. Alongside our permanent residential placements, we also offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to recover from a period of illness, to give a family carer some breathing space, or simply to try things out before committing to a longer arrangement. We are glad to be a resource for the wider community in that way. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good, which reflects the consistent effort our staff put in each and every day. We are pleased with that outcome, but we are always looking at where we can do better and how we can keep improving the experience for the people in our care. Waltham Forest is a vibrant and connected part of London, and we think that being part of this community matters. We encourage residents to stay connected to the things and people that are important to them, and we do what we can to support that. If you would like to find out more about life at Lyncroft or arrange a visit, we would be very happy to hear from you.
