Sydenham House is a family run concern passionate about making itself a home rather than an institution. We help our clients to lead active lives in friendly, comfortable surroundings, involving them in the local community whenever we can.

The home opened in 1993 with just one resident and we have come a long way since then! Currently we employ 17 members of staff, many of whom have been with us for twenty years or more.

Our caring team aim to respect people’s privacy and treat them with dignity and kindness. We believe good communication and flexibility go a long way to helping an individual fulfil their needs and live a meaningful life.
