Home care in Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames is the only London borough on both banks of the Thames. On one side are Richmond, Kew, Barnes, Mortlake and East Sheen, on the other Twickenham, St Margarets, Whitton, Teddington and Hampton. Ham and Petersham sit between Richmond Park and the river.
It is a green, quieter part of London with many older residents who have lived here a long time. Houses are often on several floors, and some villages are a walk from the nearest station or shops. A carer can help with daily routines, meals and errands, or join a walk by the river, in Kew Gardens or in Bushy Park.
Viola is an introductory agency: we introduce vetted, self-employed carers, you choose, and we handle the paperwork and payments.
