About Samuel Close 1

Samuel Close 1 is a small residential care home in Greenwich, southeast London, providing care for up to six people. The home supports adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and older people, as well as younger adults with complex needs.

Run by Choice Support, the home was rated Good by the Care Quality Commission following an inspection in September 2022. Its small size allows for a more intimate care environment compared to larger facilities. The location in SE18 provides access to local Greenwich amenities while remaining residential in character.

The home's focus on multiple care needs means staff support people with varied requirements, from mobility assistance to communication support for those with sensory impairments. This mixed-needs approach can suit families seeking placements for individuals with multiple conditions or those requiring tailored, person-centred care.
