Cherry Tree and The Farmhouse are co-located on a site just off Wingletye Lane in Hornchurch. Together with The Paddocks, they are care homes that offer residential care for people aged under 65 who are living with learning disabilities; they share the site with a Day Centre and a children’s unit (both outside the remit of Healthwatch).
The facilities were formerly known as the Lilliputs complex (the whole site was once part of a farm known as Lilliputs) but, since the current providers, R G Care Ltd, took them over, they are treated as individual units rather than as a complex. The three homes are individually registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC); however, for ease of reference, we have prepared a single report referring to both Cherry Tree and The Farmhouse.
We visited the homes to find out about the services provided there, and what service users and staff think about it.
[We have now carried out four visits; all of our reports are available below. For our most recent visit, we went to Cherry Tree and The Farmhouse; we will be visiting The Paddocks in early 2025.]
