Offering an exclusive, individual lifestyle, The Summers is a beautiful purpose built centre, that has recently been refurbished to the highest standards. It is conveniently located within easy reach of Kingston town centre and Hampton Court. This luxurious care centre aims to transform people’s lives through the delivery of high quality services in a friendly, home-like environment.

Each wing consists of six to ten bedrooms all with en-suite shower rooms and a multi-purpose lounge, dining and activities area.

Using a “person-centred” approach based on leading theory in current Dementia practice, we work with families, to create a Life Story for each resident. This allows us to get to know each individual’s personal history whilst helping to revisit memories and experiences of by-gone eras. This, coupled with the superior care delivered by our registered manager and dedicated team of nurses and health care staff, ensures that all residents receive 24-hour care and support whilst maintaining privacy, choice, dignity and independence.

Our team, consisting of the Home Manager and carefully selected healthcare staff, work alongside our doctors and consultants to ensure the best quality of life for our residents. Excellence in the provision of care and services is achieved through continuous training from external experts and quality improvement.

Meals are an important part of our day and dining is designed to be a gastronomic and a social occasion to be shared with friends and family alike. Our chef, who will visit each resident to discuss individual choice and special diets, produces a wide range of delicious meals that are nutritionally balanced and prepared using fresh, seasonal produce. We encourage visitors to stay for meals or enjoy a drink with their loved ones. Meals are served three times a day, either in the dining room or in the comfort of your bedroom. Private dining facilities are also available for families and friends to share meals with their loved ones.

The Summers has a dedicated activity room where residents can continue with existing interests and hobbies as well as discover new ones. Our full-time activity coordinator schedules a weekly calendar to care for individual preferences as well as a variety of group outings, and entertainment to suit all interests, helping to provide structure to our residents’ day as well as offering mental and physical stimulation. We also provide medical, dental, optical, physiotherapy and occupational therapy services which are arranged by referral.

At The Summers you don’t have to worry if you’re missing your loved ones, just pop into the Internet Corner and have a chat over the webcam. If you’re searching for long-lost friends, why not surf the world-wide-web, or, relax with a book from our library. You can also choose to indulge in our lively and sociable events; wine and cheese evenings or cookery classes are always a popular choice for our residents, friends and families! We also make the most of our local amenities by arranging regular outings to local attractions.
