Known for its strong sense of community, green spaces like Wimbledon Common, and excellent healthcare facilities such as St. George’s Hospital, Merton is a place many are proud to call home.

Why Live-In Care Is Better Than a Care Home

While care homes serve a purpose, many people prefer to remain in their own homes to keep a sense of independence and routine. Live-in care allows you to:

• Stay connected to your neighbours, friends, and local events
• Preserve the comfort of a familiar environment surrounded by keepsakes and memories
• Receive one-to-one attention from a dedicated carer, rather than sharing staff time with other residents
• Continue enjoying Merton’s parks, shops, and leisure spots when you feel up to it

Ultimately, live-in care helps you maintain your own lifestyle in Merton—without the upheaval of moving away from the place you call home.
