Living in Southwark
From the riverside attractions around London Bridge and Bermondsey to the Victorian terraces of Peckham, Camberwell, and the green expanses of Dulwich, Southwark offers tremendous variety. Our carers help clients enjoy the Dulwich Picture Gallery, walks in Burgess Park, and shopping trips to East Street Market. The Jubilee and Northern lines, plus Thameslink, keep the borough well connected for visiting family.
Council & Social Care Support in Southwark
Southwark Council provides free adult social care assessments and may offer Direct Payments or commissioned care for eligible residents. The borough is a pioneer in Integrated Care, and our live-in carers fit into Southwark's joined-up health and social care model, working alongside district nurses and GPs for seamless support.
Understanding the Costs
Live-in care in Southwark typically ranges from £1,750 to £2,000 per week. Residential care homes in SE1, SE5, and SE22 charge from £1,400 to £2,000 per week — often without the one-to-one attention a live-in carer provides. For couples in Dulwich or Camberwell, sharing a carer is frequently the most cost-effective and comfortable option.
