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.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
