Not quite ready for a care home? Try assisted living with Birchgrove

Birchgrove offers modern, accessible assisted living apartments with tailored care, community, and independence across London, Kent, and Surrey.

Assisted living - the care you need, in your own home
In the past, having help and assistance as you got older often meant moving to a care home. But now, with assisted living, you can enjoy the independence of your own home along with care and support to meet your specific needs.

Birchgrove is a specialist developer of modern retirement homes especially designed for people in later life. We offer independent one, two and three bed apartments that are beautifully designed for later living.

All apartments feature wide doors and corridors, making them wheelchair accessible, whilst appliances in the fully fitted kitchens are waist high for easy access. Modern bathrooms come with walk-in showers equipped with simple to use switches, taps and plugs.
