About Garth Brow (Adult Care Home)
Here at Garth Brow, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Kendal, within the beautiful surroundings of Westmorland and Furness. We specialise in supporting people with learning disabilities and autism, and we also offer respite care for those who need a short break, as well as their families and carers. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make. Our aim is to make that transition as smooth and comfortable as possible, taking the time to get to know each person as an individual before they even arrive with us. Everyone who lives here has their own story, their own preferences and their own way of doing things, and we think that matters enormously. Day to day life at Garth Brow is shaped by the people who live here. We work hard to ensure that routines feel familiar and that there is always room for choice, whether that is how someone spends their morning, what they eat, or how they like to relax. For those staying with us on a respite basis, we want the experience to feel just as personal and unhurried. Our team knows the people in their care well, and that consistency makes a real difference. We are proud to have received a rating of good from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our staff put in each day to provide care that is safe, respectful and attentive. If you are thinking about care options for yourself or someone close to you, we would always encourage you to come and see us in person. A visit tells you far more than words on a page ever could, and we are always happy to have that conversation.
