The Friends of One Tower Bridge Road support the work of the home. Situated within walking distance of London’s Tower Bridge, One Tower Bridge care home is a purpose-built 128 bedded care home offering Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Respite care.
The Friends aim to improve the quality of life of the residents of the care home by working with staff, residents and relatives.
The Friends of One Tower Bridge Road are looking to develop services on the site. We have found that this is particularly valued by some residents who through deteriorating health do not have the confidence to come out of their rooms. Alongside this, we support the care homes’ activities’ coordinators by providing extra pairs of hands during organised activity sessions and outings.

The residents and staff at One Tower Bridge care home were very grateful to Friends for the purchases of items for the Queens platinum jubilee celebrations. Friends were able to purchase the queen cut out for the home. Everyone had really good time celebrating the platinum jubilee.
Purchase of toiletries for the home
