Waterside Care Home
Discover bespoke residential care from a highly trained care team in our welcoming care home.
Waterside Care Home is a unique, purpose-built home set in the neighbourhood of Peckham surrounded by its own enclosed gardens.
We are close to local services and amenities with Peckham town centre only 1 mile away, a local market, shops, pubs, GP surgeries, and the local hospital – Kings College. One of the largest parks in London, Burgess Park spanning 56 hectares complete with a fishing lake is only a 1-minute walk from the care home.
As well as providing high-quality care and support for you, we also care about your families too. Our door is always open for a chat, and our residents’ and families’ forum gives you a way to support each other. Plus, your family members are welcome in at any time, for a cuppa, or to join us for a meal.
Social activities
We place great emphasis on social activities and maintaining the type of life you have had at home, whether that is a quiet and relaxed lifestyle or an active lifestyle.
We have our very own library which is very popular for those who would rather have a relaxing afternoon as opposed to one of our many activities or day trips.
We host a variety of social events which include themed restaurant evenings, arts and crafts, quizzes, and regular entertainers.
Treat yourself to pamper days at our on-site beauty and hair salon followed by an afternoon in one of our roomy communal lounges where you can chill out and have a good time with friends and family.
Dining
At Waterside Care Home you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sources wherever possible. Meals are served in our superb dining room, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Nutrition is an important part of the care we provide. That’s why our catering team take time to get to know your likes and dislikes before putting together a vibrant and varied menu for you to choose from.

Prior to your move in to our home, you’ll receive a free no obligation care assessment so we can understand your care needs and create a care plan that suits you best. Your family is welcome to join this process. This allows us to create a bespoke care package that allows you to have the best quality of life.

Funding may be available from your local authority. Firstly, they will check how much help and what kind of care you need: this is the needs assessment. Following on from that, the free financial assessment calculates the total cost of care and how much you’ll need to contribute.
If you don’t want a financial assessment you can choose to pay for your care home yourself – this is called self-funding.
Our bespoke care and support is available for a single weekly fee. That includes care, accommodation, laundry, meals, housekeeping, social outings and more.
That means no additional charges or hidden fees, just consistent, all-inclusive support for a weekly fee.
Waterside Care Home has officially opened our new specialist Avon Unit which has increased nursing care and reablement capacity in the Southwark borough. It currently has 17 bedrooms and spacious communal areas to support both people in reablement pathways and those who need to be discharged from hospital for further assessment, or to prevent hospital admission.
Waterside Care Home will also provide nursing provision to a further 16 people, and it is expected that this will continue to develop over time.
