Supporting adults with mental health needs, learning disabilities and autism across the London Borough of Merton.
Care in Merton
The London Borough of Merton sits right alongside our base on The Broadway in Wimbledon, and it is an area we know and support closely.
We help adults with mental health conditions, learning disabilities and autism to live well at home across Merton, with care that fits each person’s life rather than a fixed template.
From supported living and personalised care plans to respite that gives family carers a genuine break, our support in Merton is built around the person and the people around them.
We welcome referrals from families, social workers and commissioners, and we are glad to talk through what someone needs before anything is decided.

Local context
Arranging care and support in Merton
Adult social care in Merton is run by Merton Council. Under the Care Act 2014, the council assesses adults who may need care and support and can arrange or fund care for those who are eligible.
Merton runs dedicated mental health support for adults, and works with NHS and voluntary sector partners locally. We work alongside these services so that a person’s care and their wider support join up.
The borough is well connected, with Wimbledon a major rail, Underground and tram hub, and the Northern line and Thameslink serving Morden, Colliers Wood and Mitcham. Staying connected helps the people we support take part in work, activities and community life.
Merton mixes busy town centres with quieter residential streets and green space, and we tailor support to wherever someone lives and however they like to spend their day.
