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 MiL was in Bramshot Grange in Hampshire. She was on the dementia floor but there was a non dementia floor as well. There were a lot of staff and a lot of activities so I would think it might be worth a look to see if it might suit your mum.

Thank you MrsWobble - I will have a look.

Hopeful bump for any others?

My FIL was in Hill House near Farnham and they were excellent. It's part of a small chain of homes around Farnham and Fleet so there should be something there.

Birtley House near Guildford.

Camberley Manor in Deepcut

Oak Lodge is very very nice (but v expensive) near Basingstoke

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

Galsworthy House on Kingston hill

Brierly House in Brentford, near twickenham.

Sorry I mean Maryville House

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

Hartfield House in Leatherhead.

Thank you everyone for these recommendations! Much appreciated. Any more are welcome, we will start looking at them all soon 😘

Eden Court in SW11. 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.

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

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.

There are signature care homes in Wimledon and Wandsworth

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

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

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

Another recommendation for Galsworthy House in Kingston

The Andover Nursing Home in Hampshire

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.

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