About Kellan Lodge

Kellan Lodge is a small residential care home in Enfield, offering a quieter, more intimate setting for those who benefit from a close-knit environment. Families looking for somewhere that feels less like an institution and more like a genuine home may find the scale and community feel here reassuring. The Enfield area itself provides a friendly backdrop, with the home forming part of a wider local community.

Kellan Lodge provides accommodation and personal care for up to four people with learning and physical disabilities. At inspection, three residents were living at the service. Staff demonstrated caring and respectful interactions with residents, who knew them well and engaged confidently with them.

However, inspectors identified significant concerns in several areas. Risk assessments were not comprehensive and guidance to staff on minimising risks lacked clarity and detail, though these issues were addressed immediately after the inspection. The home had not implemented infection control policies or procedures, and several staff had not received recent infection control training, which was concerning given the pandemic context.

Safe recruitment processes were in place for staff.
