Local knowledge that makes a difference in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is one of the larger inner South West London boroughs, stretching from the Thames at Putney and Battersea down through Wandsworth Town, Tooting and Balham. It mixes busy town centres with a great deal of green space, and many of the people we support want to stay close to the places that matter to them, whether that is a slow morning walk on Wandsworth Common, a coffee on Northcote Road, a stroll through King George's Park by the Wandle, or a visit to family near Clapham Junction. Our care is designed to keep those routines going, not replace them.

We regularly support people coming home from St George's Hospital in Tooting, one of the country's principal teaching hospitals, which is run by St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The same trust also runs community services from Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton. Getting the first few weeks at home right after a hospital stay matters, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support, and we keep in close contact with families and community teams to spot any problems early.

Adult social care in the borough is overseen by Wandsworth Borough Council, based at the Town Hall on Wandsworth High Street. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the 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.

Our office is in Edgware, and from there our team coordinates home care across Greater London, including the SW postcodes of Wandsworth. That means you get a settled local Care Professional supporting your relative in Southfields, Earlsfield or Balham, backed by a management team that is on hand seven days a week.
