About Bhakti Shyama Care Centre

The care home that understands your family from the inside out.

Bhakti Shyama Care Centre was established with a purpose that no other care home in the United Kingdom shares: to provide high-quality nursing and dementia care entirely within the cultural, spiritual and linguistic world of the Hindu community. Located on Balham New Road in south London, our 25-bed home has been a trusted resource for Hindu families across London and beyond for over a decade — because for many families, there is simply nowhere else like it.

Our Foundations

The values that guide every day at Bhakti Shyama.

Four principles rooted in both professional care standards and the spiritual tradition from which this home takes its name.

Individual care
01

Bhakti — Devotion

A genuine commitment to every resident, in every interaction. Care here is not transactional — it is an act of devotion to the people who trust us with their wellbeing and dignity.

Family and residents
02

Respect for Identity

Every resident's language, faith, cultural background and personal history is actively honoured — not accommodated as a special request, but as the everyday starting point of all care.

Clinical Excellence

Qualified nursing cover 24 hours a day, robust care planning, regular review and close working with GPs and NHS teams — so that families can feel genuinely secure in the clinical standard of care provided.

Family and Community

Residents' families are welcomed and involved at every stage. The wider Hindu community — through visits, festivals and shared celebrations — is a living, vital part of what makes Bhakti Shyama a home rather than simply a care setting.
