Can you recommend a really nice care home in North Hampshire, Surrey or SW London?

This is for my Mum who does not have dementia but is now dangerously immobile. She also needs some fun and company. She is self funding and has enough money but what she is worried about is finding herself in a home with more unwell people who are not able to engage.

My DM was at Moorlands Lodge which is a Signature home in Hindhead just on the Surrey/Hampshire border. Not perfect (not sure anywhere can be) but good.

Could you look at Supported Living accommodation with carers on site? This seems to be the new way, especially for people who are social and still lucid.

A relative was in Beacon House in Fleet - some while ago, but it seemed very nice - didn't smell of wee, small capacity, individual care. She & her immediate family were well off so I think it was the nicest they could find locally.

@erinaceus that is really lovely to hear

My father is in a Cinnamon home in South Hampshire and it's amazing! They might have something near you.

Bournewood Manor in Farnham was very nice when my mother was there.

Another vote for Hartfield House in Leatherhead. Cared for my mother as if she was a family member until her death.

Birtley House near Guildford. It was a while ago now, but they were lovely with my DGrandmother.

I worked here doing care work for six months during my gap year. Having seen behind the scenes, I would trust them with my own family members, it's an amazing place.

The Andover Nursing Home in Hampshire

Another recommendation for Galsworthy House in Kingston

Knelwood House in Farnborough. Cared for my dearest grandfather kindly and respectfully.

Look at the Cinnamon group. They aren’t cheap but are very very good.

LadyLapsang · 23/11/2022 23:26

I have heard positive things about The Old Rectory in Ewhurst, Surrey.

lazymum99 · 22/11/2022 16:37

There are signature care homes in Wimledon and Wandsworth

NCagainandagainand · 22/11/2022 16:28

If there are sufficient funds available, would live-in care be an option? Essentially it's a carer at home with them 24/7 (apart from short breaks). No good if she needs more than one person to help with mobility, if there isn't a spare bedroom for the carer, or if she also needs help multiple times a night (unless you can run to a night carer as well) but it can work well for those who need company and practical support.

Silvermere care home in Cobham is very good but horribly expensive (even more than the norm!)

watcherintherye · 21/11/2022 20:28

Dementia patients are kept separately from the sane elderly, which benefits both.

That’s a rather crude and inaccurate distinction to draw. Dementia isn’t insanity.

Supersimkin2 · 21/11/2022 20:20

Eden Court in SW11. Dementia patients are kept separately from the sane elderly, which benefits both.

Sorry I mean Maryville House

HappyHamsters · 21/11/2022 18:29

Brierly House in Brentford, near twickenham.

Vermin · 21/11/2022 18:29

Galsworthy House on Kingston hill

Would she manage in a residential home rather than a nursing home.
