Local knowledge that makes a difference in Waltham Forest

Waltham Forest is one of the most diverse and fast changing of the London boroughs, stretching from the terraced streets of Walthamstow and Leyton up to the leafier, quieter roads of Chingford and Highams Park near the edge of Epping Forest. Many of the people we support want to stay close to familiar places, whether that is the bustle of Walthamstow Village and the market on Hoe Street, a morning at the William Morris Gallery in Lloyd Park, or a stroll around Walthamstow Wetlands. Our care is designed to keep those routines going, not replace them.

We regularly support people coming home from Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone, run by Barts Health NHS Trust, as well as those discharged from other local hospitals across North East London. Getting the first few weeks at home right matters, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support, and we keep in close contact with families and district nurses to spot any problems early.

Adult social care in the borough is overseen by the London Borough of Waltham Forest. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask Waltham Forest Council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many of the families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different funding routes work so you can make a confident decision. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
