About London DCA

London DCA provides care at home across Croydon and the surrounding area. We support older adults and younger adults, people with a learning disability and autistic adults, and adults living with mental health conditions. A good part of our work is with younger and working age adults, and that shapes how we go about it. Support is not only about personal care and safety, although those matter. It is also about getting to college or work, managing money, holding down a tenancy, keeping up with friends, and having the same say over your own week that anybody else expects. We start from what the person wants their life to look like and work back to the support that makes it possible. That means plans are written with people rather than about them, and they change as the person does. Somebody who needed a lot of help through a difficult month may want us to step back afterwards, and stepping back at the right time is part of doing this job properly. For older people the work usually centres on keeping a household and a routine going, with a familiar person who notices when something has shifted. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you or somebody you support is looking for care in this part of London, we are glad to talk it through.
