Local context
Arranging care and support in Richmond upon Thames
Adult social care in Richmond is run by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Under the Care Act 2014, the council assesses adults who may need care and support and can arrange or fund eligible care.
The borough has a strong voluntary and community sector, including local carers’ support, and we work alongside these organisations and with health teams so that a person’s support joins up.
Richmond is served by rail and Underground at Richmond, and mainline stations at Twickenham, Teddington and Barnes, with good bus links and a great deal of open space and riverside. The people we support value being able to get out, and we help them do so.
From the town centres of Richmond and Twickenham to quieter streets in Barnes, Ham and Hampton, we tailor care to wherever someone lives.
