Has anyone got anymore news about Cherrycroft Care Home, Dewar St, Peckham, SE15. All the enquiries I have made with CQC, Southwark Council have been futile. Someone out there must know! Is there a FOR SALE sign up? Come on my friends I am relying on you. Did I tell you, that I live in Spain and cannot do much investigating, although I will be in the UK in July for 6 weeks, so I will put my walking shoes on, go to Cherrycroft and ask some questions!


Regards

Jean

We've been wondering about this place too. I don't think there's a 'for sale' sign up. It looks like there's a caretaker keeping an eye on the place (the odd light on occasionally) but other than that it looks pretty deserted. The grass at the front hasn't been cut back in an age...

I don't know why they have closed but can only assume that the owners didn't think the site was viable as a business anymore. It seemed to be satisfactory at the last CQC inspection therefore I doubt they can shed anymore light on this. It is a shame Southwark cannot help as they will have had to rehome all the displaced residents so must have been aware. If you have concerns about something in particular, could you investigate the FOI (to southwark) request route?

Have you tried the last owners http://www.abbeyhealthcare.org.uk/index.html - they should be able to provide this info as they were the last owners before the home closed?

Hallo Julie.

Thanks for getting back to me.

My problem is that I have an ongoing complaint with Cherrycroft and LGO are dealing with the last stages. Southwark Council won't give me any information as they say that whilst the LGO are involved they are not allowed to speak or communicate with me, neither is Abbey Healthcare. If you are able to find any information on Cherrycroft it would be very helpful.


Regards

Jean Bradley

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
