Swail House offers blind and partially sighted people the choice of living independently while experienced staff are always available to provide support when needed.

Swail House flats are situated in spacious grounds in a quiet residential area close to Epsom town centre. Epsom railway station, with links to central London, is a 10 minute walk away.

"Knowing that help is at hand 24 hours a day should we need it is very reassuring. We settled in here extremely quickly - everyone is so helpful and friendly. I teach Braille here and my wife loves the handicraft class. But you can be as independent as you want."
