The houses are divided internally into 4 flats - 2 on the ground floor, (flats 3 and 4) and 2 on the first floor (flats 1 and 2). One of the ground floor flats (flat 3) was formerly used for service users receiving respite care, but the respite service has now been transferred to another unit in Greenwich. The other flats have different numbers of bedrooms (4, 5,and 6), and therefore allow space for up to 15 service users. Each flat is entirely self-sufficient, with it?s own lounge, dining-area, kitchen, laundry area and bathrooms. There is a large garden at the rear of the property that is available for all service users. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 3 of 7 What we found:
