About Access for Living
We at Access for Living are proud to provide compassionate home care across London, supporting people in the comfort and familiarity of their own surroundings within the borough of Lewisham and the wider SE postcode area. Being a home care agency means our support comes to you. Rather than asking individuals to adjust to a new environment, we bring tailored care directly into the places where our clients feel most at ease, whether that is a family home, a supported living setting, or a flat of one's own. The physical environment remains yours, filled with your belongings, your routines, and the people you love, whilst we quietly weave the right support around daily life. Our specialisms lie in home care and in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism. In practice, this means we take the time to understand each person as an individual, recognising that no two people experience the world in the same way. For someone with a learning disability, this might involve gentle encouragement with daily routines, help to build independence, and support to take part in community life. For an autistic person, it might mean respecting sensory preferences, maintaining consistent routines, and communicating in ways that feel comfortable and clear. For families, it means the reassurance of knowing that a loved one is being supported with patience, dignity, and genuine understanding. As a newer registration with the Care Quality Commission, we are Not Yet Rated, with our first inspection anticipated in early 2026. Whilst a formal rating is still to come, we welcome the openness and accountability that CQC oversight brings, and we are committed to building a service that families can trust from the very first conversation. We encourage prospective clients to speak with us directly, ask questions, and get a clear sense of who we are and how we work. Choosing care for yourself or someone you love is a significant decision, and we understand the weight it carries. If you would like to learn more about how we can support life at home in Lewisham and across London, please do get in touch. We would be glad to listen, answer your questions, and explore together whether we are the right fit for your family.
