Staying independent
We all need a little help sometimes. If you’re finding life challenging because of age, the loss of a loved one or a change in your circumstances, please get in touch.
If you're over 50 and live in Merton then our team can work with you to help you live an independent and fulfilling life in your own home for as long as possible.
Working in partnership with other services, our team of caring and friendly staff will help you to continue doing the things you love.
If you think we may be able to help, contact us and we'll arrange to meet you either at home or in our office to find out what is important to you and how we can help.
