About Thames Homecare Service
Thames Homecare Southwark provides care at home for people living across Southwark and nearby parts of London. We support older people, adults living with dementia, people living with mental ill health, adults with physical disabilities and those with sight or hearing loss, younger adults, and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug use. London home care has a particular difficulty: distances are short but journeys are slow, and a rota that looks sensible on paper falls apart in traffic. We plan around that rather than pretending otherwise, because a call that arrives an hour late is a call that has already failed. We would rather take on fewer households and serve them reliably. Our care workers are matched to the people they visit and kept there. Over time they learn the household, the habits, the early signs that something is wrong. That knowledge is the real product of home care, and it only accumulates when people stay. Support ranges from a single daily visit through to several calls a day, and it covers personal care, medicines, meals, keeping a home in order and simply having somebody reliable turn up. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are arranging care in Southwark, whether urgently or in good time, please call and we will be honest about what we can do.
