Supported Living Accommodations
Our commitment is to bring a new, personalised standard of care to those who require after-hospital discharge support and other general supported living services.
At Dvanguard, we deeply understand that a home is more than a place—it’s a sanctuary of independence and comfort. With our facilities, we provide a home-like environment, coupled with the highest standard of professional care. Each of our accommodations is purpose-built, fully accessible, and designed with safety and ease-of-mobility in mind. Furthermore, we are positioned in vibrant communities, enabling our residents to participate actively in local activities.
Beyond the physical infrastructure, our approach to care is person-centred and holistic. Our dedicated team of professionals work closely with healthcare providers, families, and most importantly, our service users to create an individual care plan that caters to their unique needs and preferences.
We place a high emphasis on fostering a positive, empowering environment. The Dvanguard experience enables our service users to lead fulfilling lives, while providing them with the level of support they require. Our round-the-clock care and assistance are there to provide peace of mind and security for our residents and their loved ones.
We cordially invite you to explore our new Supported Living Accommodations in Lewisham and Croydon.

Let us provide a place where you or your loved ones can truly feel at home, while being fully supported by our dedicated team.
