Athol House

We all know there’s no place like home

That’s why each Leonard Cheshire home is unique, and provides the support that’s right for the people who live there. Personalised support helps to make sure everyone can live as independently as they choose.

Athol House is home for 21 adults with physical disabilities and sensory impairments. We’re in a quiet area of Crystal Palace which has lots of green open spaces and trees. We’re close to shops, restaurants, Brockwell Lido and Crystal Palace Sports Centre and there are excellent transport links into central London.

Is this the place for you?

This is a safe and friendly place to live, with high quality care and nursing. The team is dedicated and experienced, especially in supporting people with cerebral palsy, epilepsy and brain injuries. They will make sure your needs are understood and met – all with the greatest privacy and respect. We also offer physiotherapy to support your health and wellbeing.

The people you’ll meet, the things you’ll do…

Live here and you’ll be supported to be independent, healthy and active. There’s something for everyone and our great team of staff and volunteers run individual and group activities, including independent living training. We also have a beautifully maintained garden for you to enjoy. So whatever your interests, from keeping fit to being creative, there’s always something to get involved in.

…will take you to where you want to go

Tell us what you want to do, and we’ll help you get there. Whatever you choose to do, we’ll work with you to make sure it helps you to achieve your goals. Athol House is a place where you can feel at home while on your journey to independence.
