Hello, I am really in need of advice. My dad isn't coping living alone very well with food, laundry, medications etc. He's a happy , independently minded and very chatty person who needs company. I'm trying to find a care home or sheltered accommodation for him locally. But I'm clueless. Does anyone have any information on Evans House on Underhill Road? Or any other recommendations or steer-clear tips? Thanks so much!

Hi, my mothers at Greenhive in Nunhead. I think it is really good, lots of activities, lovely staff, large garden. I've also used home carers. I think, if he is safe over night on his own, starting with home carers is a good option. Happy for you to PM me if you want any more information. Sadly my mother has Alzheimer's so I have lots of experience with the care system xx

As a former health and Social Care professional, I regularly visited Greenhive over many years and can confirm that it has been a good home with plenty of activities etc. Can also recommend The Elms in Barry Road.


Private carers seem to range from ?15 - ?25 per hour depending on agency etc.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
