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!

Laura

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.


There is a house in stradella Rd which is lovely. Has a redident cook , well severalcooks ehen she hoes on holiday etc. Big garden and decent room sizes. Lift to all floors.pm me andI can give you further details. Small as well - about 10 people.

    • lol! The Greens have picked up a bunch of support into the last few months precisely because they have gone much further to the left. If you wanted a leaflet that made disaffected Labour voters aware that there was a leftist alternative to Labour in Dulwich, and to reassure mainstream Labour voters feel like the Corbynite fringe was fucking off at long last, then this is what it would look like.  Meanwhile the Lib Dems' solution to SEND and social care funding crises, a failure to build any private or social housing, climate change and all the rest is..."community wardens". 🤣 They really seem to be out of tune with the state of the country at the moment: it's crazy that they could have observed the comms failure of Starmer's incremental managerialism and thought to themselves, "you know what people want? More of that attitude, but with even less impact".
    • Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf  
    • I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job  rather than  voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.
    • And still is, and hopefully will continue to be with changed ownership, should that happen.
