Cherry Tree, The Farmhouse and The Paddocks are co-located on a site just off Wingletye Lane in Hornchurch. They are care homes that offer residential care for people aged under 65 who are living with learning disabilities; they share the site with a Day Centre and a children’s unit (both outside the remit of Healthwatch).
The facilities were formerly known as the Lilliputs complex (the whole site was once part of a farm known as Lilliputs) but, since the current providers, R G Care Ltd, took them over, they are treated as individual units rather than as a complex. The three homes are individually registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
We visited Cherry Tree and the Farmhouse in October 2024 and The Paddocks in January 2025, to find out about the services provided there, and what service users and staff think about it.
[We have now carried out four visits; all of our reports are available below]
