Information and advice

Staywell provides a specialist Information & Advice Service to anyone of pension age living in the Borough of Kingston upon Thames and/or their family/carers. The service is free, independent and confidential. 

What we can do:

  • Provide accurate, up-to-date and independent information and advice on issues of concern, from health concerns to care options, hospital discharge to housing options.
  • Advise on benefit entitlements for people of state pension age and assist with claims and form filling.
  • Give information about other local services and social activities.

 What we can help you to do:

  • Make informed choices.
  • Think through the options.
  • Put decisions into actions.
  • Stay in charge of your life.

If you or someone you care about needs information, advice or support, call us on 020 8942 8256. If our information line is busy, or our offices are closed, please leave a message stating your name and telephone number clearly. We will respond to all messages left on our voicemail within 48 hours.

‘Thank you so much for coming and filling in the Attendance Allowance form for my father. It’s a fantastic job that you do – it would be so difficult to fill in that form – and impossible for those who don’t have any help. So on behalf of my father and all the family, thank you.’

    Out and about with Josie

    The importance of staying social as we age, and why Help@Home doesn't have to stay at home.

  • Rooted in community

    Rooted in community

    Staywell’s story begins in the aftermath of the Second World War, when communities across the country recognised that older people had been left particularly vulnerable by social upheaval, poverty and isolation. In response, local residents came together to form Older People’s Welfare Associations—voluntary, community led organisations created to provide practical help, social connection and dignity at a time when statutory support was limited. We explore why this history matters in 2026.

    A legacy of care: £80,000 for 80 Years

    Staywell is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. By donating today, you help ensure that older people in our community receive support when it matters most — before loneliness, ill health or crisis take hold. Your gift helps Staywell provide practical help, emotional support and connection close to home, just as we have done for nearly 80 years. Donate today and help older people live well, with dignity and belonging.
