About St. Michaels Lodge

St Michaels Lodge provides residential care in Waltham Forest for adults, including younger adults, and we also offer planned respite stays. We think of this as somebody's home first and a care setting second. People living here have their own rooms, their own routines and a real say in how the place runs, and our staff help with personal care, medicines, meals, money and the ordinary work of a household. We stand back wherever somebody can manage without us, and we support people to keep up with family and friends and to get to the activities, work or education that matter to them. We should be straightforward about our inspection position rather than leaving people to find it out elsewhere. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We accepted the findings instead of arguing with them, and our manager and staff team have been working through exactly what was criticised, with tighter medicines practice, clearer records, more training and supervision, and regular internal checks so that problems surface quickly. That work is under way rather than finished. If you are considering a place here for somebody, please visit, ask specifically what has changed since the inspection, and spend time with the people who already live here rather than taking our word for it.
