East London’s Ilford offers a variety of care homes, many rated ‘Good’ or even Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), reflecting both high standards of care and resident wellbeing. Many homes in the area are also run by established and trusted operators, such as Bupa and Barchester Healthcare.
Ilford’s location makes it particularly accessible for families travelling from across London and Essex, while the nearby King George Hospital and several GP surgeries ensure that residents have access to consistent medical care when needed. Local green spaces like Valentine's Park also provide a welcoming setting for organised, supported trips, with family members often invited on these trips.
Care homes in Ilford offer different types of support, from residential and dementia care to more specialist nursing care. Costs will vary depending on the level of care you’re looking for, with light-touch residential care that supports daily tasks and staying well often being more affordable than 24/7 nursing and clinical care for more advanced conditions.
All Ilford care homes featured on Lottie are regulated by the CQC and personally reviewed by our in-house Care Experts - professionals with first-hand experience in daily care home life, and across adult social care. They assess homes not just for the care given, but the real quality of life experienced by residents.
Above, you can explore homes by their facilities, such as therapy rooms, sensory gardens, cinema rooms, communal lounges, dining rooms, and more. Alternatively, narrow down your options by care type, location, weekly budget, home size, and more.
