Show more "Edward Alleyn House comprises 14 flats and 2 bed-sitting rooms and is located adjacent to Christ's Chapel and opposite Dulwich Park and the Charity is careful to ensure that they are maintained and steadily improved to meet the changing needs of the residents, providing comfortable homes.

In recent years the heating and hot water systems have been renewed, walk-in baths have been provided (reflecting the residents’ wishes) and there is a regular programme of redecoration, which incorporates upgrading kitchens and other fittings. Stair lifts have been installed in three of the four blocks (but there is no access for those using wheelchairs).

To qualify as a resident an applicant must satisfy all of the following conditions:
be an inhabitant of the area of benefit;
at least 60 years of age;
in “need, hardship or distress” and
of modest financial means;
be able to look after themselves without the need of medical assistance (the Warden makes daily calls on each resident and a home help service is offered, but the Charity does not offer medical assistance or other forms of care. However, some residents have care packages provided by the local authority)." Show less
