Care built on dignity, family values & trust

Eleven Care Homes Across London, Essex and Surrey

Abbey Total Care has looked after families since 1989. Today the group has eleven homes, from Bhakti Shyama in Balham with 25 rooms to Forest Place in Buckhurst Hill with 120, so the right choice depends on what a person needs and where their family lives.

Some homes have a particular character. Bhakti Shyama is a Hindu home next to a temple, with a Gujarati pure-vegetarian kitchen. Bridge House is a Grade II listed building beside the River Wandle. Moreland House, purpose-built in 2014, has hydrotherapy baths and a salon. Woodlands in Ilford marks Diwali, Eid, Christmas and Holi.

All eleven have registered nurses on duty 24 hours a day and offer the same nine services, from nursing and dementia care to respite, palliative care and rehabilitation. The care home finder shows where each home is.

Our Journey

Three decades of caring

From a single family-run care home in across London, Essex, Surrey to 11 CQC-regulated homes supporting 600+ residents across London, Essex and Surrey.

  1. 1989

    Family Foundations — The First Home

    Abbey began with a single care home, The Ashbrook in Essex. Founded on one belief: every resident deserves to feel genuinely at home. A family vision, built to last.

  2. 1992–1994

    Growing Roots — Three Homes in Three Years

    Parkview, Woodlands and Bridge House opened in quick succession. Quality of care earned trust. The group's reputation for warm, personal care began to spread.

  3. 2001–2006

    Expanding Across London & Essex

    Forest Place (2001), Moreland (2003), Abbey Cheam (2005) and Parkside (2006) joined the group. Each home brought its own community identity, bound by shared Abbey values.

  4. 2009–2011

    Deepening Our Reach

    Ravenscroft Park, Abbey Care Complex and Bhakti Shyama opened within three years — reflecting growing demand for specialist residential, nursing and culturally-sensitive care across the region.

  5. 2024–Present

    11 Homes. One Standard.

    Uplands Care Home joined the group, completing an 11-home network across London, Essex and Surrey. All our care homes are CQC Registered and Regulated, reflecting three decades of dedication to resident-first safety and care.
