About L'Arche
We support people in their own homes across Lambeth and the wider part of London around it, working alongside adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, younger adults and older people. Our belief is a simple one: people are not a set of needs to be met but individuals with friendships, interests, preferences and a life of their own, and good support is what makes that life possible rather than what replaces it. Practically, our support might mean help with personal care and everyday tasks, or a hand with cooking, shopping and managing a household, or company and encouragement in getting out to the things that matter to someone. It often means being a steady presence while a person does something for themselves that they could not manage alone. We take time to learn how each person communicates and what makes them feel comfortable, because that is where support either works or quietly fails. Relationships are at the centre of how we work. Support that is delivered by a stranger each time is rarely support at all, so we put real effort into continuity and into people knowing each other properly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking the people we support, in the ways that suit them, whether things are going as they want. If you would like to talk about support at home, please get in touch.
