About Us

South Park Residential Home is in Merton, south London. We offer older people a settled, permanent home, and we also provide respite stays for those who need care for a short period or whose family carer needs a break. The help people need from us is mostly practical: getting up and dressed, a bath or a shower, moving about safely, medication given properly and on time, and meals worth looking forward to, with somebody nearby through the night. A good number of our residents are living with dementia, and we let that shape the whole house rather than treating it as a separate wing. The day follows a recognisable pattern, familiar staff are around, people keep their own belongings and habits, and somebody who is anxious gets company and time rather than correction. We have found that the residents who settle best are the ones who keep hold of their own habits, so we ask about those habits early and work around them instead of asking people to fit our routine. Food is cooked on the premises and, in a varied part of London, we ask about tastes and dietary and religious requirements rather than assuming. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring and arrange to come and look round.
