Person centred care homes for
the elderly in South Croydon.

Whitgift Care provides a broad range of services from residential care within the retirement community to sheltered housing and full patient-centred care in our nursing care homes.

Our assisted living program ensures a better quality of life for the elderly and retired, resulting in our residents finding their own sense of joy, purpose, and belonging from retirement and beyond.
