About Watson House
Watson House supports older people and adults with learning disabilities in a residential care setting. It forms part of Purley Park Trust, a charity supporting adults through services shaped around individual priorities and personal outcomes.
The trust’s approach begins by finding out what matters to each person and helping them achieve it. Staff support meaningful routines, independence and community involvement, with care guided by shared values and teamwork. The charitable structure means the service focuses on support for adults with learning disabilities rather than commercial activity.
