Living in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is one of South West London's most sought-after boroughs, from the open spaces of Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common to the bustling high streets of Putney, Balham, and Battersea. Our carers help clients enjoy riverside walks along the Thames, visits to Battersea Park, and trips to the local shops on Northcote Road. The borough is well connected by the Northern Line, District Line, and National Rail, making family visits easy.

Council & Social Care Support in Wandsworth

Wandsworth Council's Adult Social Care team carries out needs assessments and can arrange funding for eligible residents. The borough's enablement service works intensively for up to six weeks following hospital discharge, and our live-in carers provide the ongoing support that follows. We also help families apply for Attendance Allowance, which provides up to £101.75 per week regardless of income.
