About Morden College:

Morden College is a charity that is dedicated to enabling a life–lived independence for the older people they provide homes for, through life, as they grow older. Morden College has enriched the lives of its residents as well as their families, over the last 300 years. The Charity's core purpose is to provide older people who are in need with a home for life within its beautiful grounds, with amazing facilities and surrounded by its caring people, who work tirelessly to provide the highest quality of care.

Our Charity's Community Services are provided in the Almshouse accommodation at Blackheath and at Ralph Perring Court in Beckenham, through the vibrant communal space in the John Morden Centre and the case management approach that proactively identifies, assesses, and supports the most vulnerable in our community. Our residential care home, Cullum Welch Court ("CWC"), provides personal nursing and dementia care 24/7. With 32 beds, it is small enough to maintain a personalised service to its residents, yet large enough to provide the facilities required to meet their range of needs.
