Platinum Healthcare was established in 2005 by Mr Ephie Njogu. His vision was to establish a complete service for people who have been through the forensic psychiatric services, and had reached a point where they could be discharged from health services. At this point, such people need ‘supported living’ – services to assist them to reintegrate fully into the community. 


Platinum Healthcare provides a ‘staged’ programme of reintegration comprising of 24-hour residential care homes, individual training flats and small group homes services. Platinum Healthcare has excellent links with the local NHS mental health services and regular referrals are received from these sources. Our success rate in reintegrating referred clients into the local community is 100%. 

About Us

Aims, objectives and expected outcomes

• To assist each individual in regaining and maintaining self-care skills 

• For individuals to develop their social skills, integrate into everyday society and ensure day to day communications with others are acceptable 

• For individuals to find employment according to the individuals unique skills and abilities 

• For individuals to find a place to live independently ensuring they have the relevant support from family, friends and the relevant professional services 

• Through all of the above, to enable the client to be a valued, trusted and respected member of society

We also aim to promote independence by supporting and educating users to gain the skills required managing independent living. We aim to support service users to realise their personal aspirations and abilities in all aspects of their lives. 

Statement of Purpose

“Our aim is to provide close supported living for up to six adults reintegrated into the community as they recover from mental health problems.” 


The registered residential care home provides rehabilitation for six individuals (male or female) between the ages of 18-65 who have mental health problems and mild learning disabilities. 


We provide a complete service including training flats to supporting people moving into permanent accommodation.

Residential Care Home – St Christopher’s House

St Christopher’s is a large semi detached house set in a quiet road within High Barnet. The home accommodates six residents. Service users are allowed to personalise their bedrooms with their own personal furniture and décor. The home is within a short walking distance to Barnet’s town centre, High Barnet tube station, the local leisure facilities and Barnet General Hospital. There is also a bus stop which runs regularly outside of the home. 

The length of time that each individual takes to achieve full independence is dependent upon their individual needs and abilities. Clients at St Christopher’s House have an average length of stay of less than a year. 

Small Group Homes

The group homes are designed for a maximum of three people sharing the lounge, kitchen/dinner with the privacy of their own bedrooms. There is a senior member of staff between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. The group homes are aimed for individuals who do not required 24-hour residential care but there is an identified need for less supportive accommodation before moving to the training flats.

Supported Accommodation – Training Flats

Once residents have been assessed as capable of more independent living, they are offered the opportunity to live in one of these flats receiving regular visits from Platinum Healthcare support workers as they develop their independent living skills. The length of time that each individual takes to achieve full independence is dependent upon their individual needs and abilities. Clients staying at the training flats have a variable length of stay, but the majority of clients move on to fully independent living within 2 years.
