CARE SERVICES

There are two types of care at Thamesfield.

CLOSE CARE AT THAMESFIELD

Thamesfield offers a complete range of close care facilities, when required.

By paying a monthly service charge, you no longer have to worry about insuring or maintaining your home, paying for heating and lighting costs, laundry and even cooking.

In the event of an emergency a 24-hour call facility will bring immediate aid.

Other help, from assistance with shopping and cleaning to professional care, can be called upon as needed.

How this works
Once you have purchased your close care apartment there are two additional charges per month - the Service Charge and the Personal Care Plan.

* Electricity, Heating, Water, Building Maintenance and Insurance
