Hi, my Mum is moving back to SE London be nearer to us. She has dementia, and her social worker has recommended that she tries assisted living or extra care living as she's still relatively independent (so not ready for a care home), but unable to live on her own.

Has anyone got any experience of this type of housing locally? It would be so great to hear from you.

She would be self funded initially and is not eligible for social care yet.

Thanks in advance!

Anchor Housing or Abbeyfield may have something - try internet for more details.


Extra Care Sheltered Housing with private developer (McCarthy and Stone) can be quite expensive.


Consider a live in carer - a friend in Ilford did this for his mother for many years as family did not want her to go into care. Age UK or Independent Age can give more details.

Anchor in London has a very long waiting list.

    • No one is arguing that people should cycle without lights or reflectors. Obviously they should. It is also a legal requirement. But the colour of someone’s clothing? Is it ok to wear navy? What about green? What shade? At what point should we have ‘no reason for sympathy’ if they’re in a collision? I don’t want people to feel like they need special clothes just to walk or cycle. If you have lights and reflectors and you’re on well lit city streets, there is no reason why drivers shouldn’t be able to see you, assuming of course, that they're driving with due care and attention. But yes, if there are lots of people without lights, that should be addressed. I suspect in part, it's the change over in seasons and the fact that people are getting caught out by how early it's getting dark now (obviously no excuse).

    • What a passionate thread this is. I have worked in cycling for years, am a cyclist, a driver, use public transport etc. Driving last night with my two young kids, who also cycle, we made the same observations. It was the kids who first asked me why are most cyclists wearing full black and no lights. We then played a game who can spot all the cyclists, and count those with lights and those without. This teaches them to look out for them but also not to put themselves in a position where we have to strain to find them. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
