Local care homes/assisted living/sheltered accommodation

Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm looking for a place for my father who is lively and fun but can't really cater for himself or do his laundry etc, stay on top of medications. Does anyone have experience of Evans House on Underhill Road? Or The Elms on Barry road? Or any other options?

Thanks v much!

The Elms is brilliant. I had an aunt who lived there for several years until her death. I currently have a friend who opted to go into the Elms following her husband's death. She recently had her 90th birthday there. Staff are very helpful and friendly.


Lew Evans House is an extra sheltered unit with carers on site. If your father is renting his property he may be eligible but depends on his care needs. From what you have said - he possibility does not qualify for sheltered accommodation but needs daily carers. Make contact with Southwark's Older Persons Team and request a Care Assessment/

Assessment of Need.


Your father's financial situation (weekly income and savings over a specific amount) will be used to determine how much he needs to pay towards his care. The Care Assessment will also determine whether your father's care needs are such that could not be catered for by having 3/4 care visits a day and that he needs residential care.


Age UK and Independent Age have very good leaflets re care/care homes which you can download.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
