Show more "The flats are set in attractive grounds. Besides the amenities in each flat there is a laundry available to all residents and a community room containing a small library which also has internet access. A hairdresser visits each week and a chiropodist every month. There is an assisted ‘shopper’ bus service to a large local supermarket and Westminster Libraries call regularly with their mobile service.

Applicants must have a clear residential connection with Westminster and be able to look after themselves. A daily warden service is provided. If a resident becomes too frail to live independently we help them obtain support, but do not provide that support ourselves. The cost of living is subsidised through the charity’s endowment, although residents make a weekly maintenance contribution." Show less
