Support at home in Southwark
Southwark runs from Borough, Bankside and Bermondsey on the river, through Rotherhithe, Walworth and Elephant and Castle, down to Camberwell, Peckham, East Dulwich and Dulwich Village in the south.
The north of the borough is dense, with many flats in large blocks, while the south has more terraced houses and quieter roads. Older residents can find busy roads like the Walworth Road or Rye Lane hard going on their own. A carer can help with shopping, meals and personal care, or join a walk in Dulwich Park, Burgess Park or on Peckham Rye.
Viola is an introductory agency: we introduce vetted, self-employed carers, you choose, and we handle the paperwork and payments.

Live-in care
A carer lives in the home, from £150 a day. Needs a spare room.
