About Larkrise

Larkrise is a residential care home in Sutton, providing accommodation and support for autistic people, some of whom also have learning disabilities. Details of the CQC's most recent findings are set out below.

Heathcotes (Larkrise) provides accommodation for up to seven autistic people, some of whom have additional learning disabilities. Seven people were using the service at the time of inspection.

The home had thoughtfully adapted areas to support visits from friends and relatives while managing infection control risks. An internal room with flexible plastic screens allowed visits from family and healthcare professionals, and a garden pod provided an outdoor option during warmer months. People were encouraged to meet up with family members in the community, with each person having individual arrangements to maintain their relationships.
