Set in a quiet location, in its own beautifully landscaped gardens, Brownscombe House Nursing Home has a choice of luxurious, single rooms, some with en-suite and direct access into private patios and gardens. Most of the well-appointed bedrooms enjoy glorious views of the gardens below and surrounding Surrey countryside. Residents can choose to have personal, flat-screen TVs with Freeview and direct dial telephones in the comfort of their bedroom.

The conservatory overlooks well maintained, landscaped gardens and provides the perfect retreat during the summer months, allowing residents to pursue gardening and outdoor activities.

A selection of well-appointed relaxation areas are on-site for residents to use. This includes a choice of two attractive sitting rooms where residents can part-take in activities, watch television and entertain guests.

Brownscombe House offers comfortable, fully furnished large single or double bedrooms. All rooms have been elegantly decorated with co-ordinating soft furnishings. Residents also have the option of flat screen televisions with Freeview and direct dial telephones in the comfort of their room.

Each room comes with a multi-position, electric profiling bed to aid mobility and enable residents to sit up independently. To make rooms feel as homely as possible, residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with ornaments and pictures.

Residents are also welcome to bring loving pets to stay, by prior arrangement.

Our team, consisting of our Home Manager and carefully selected registered and auxiliary nurses, 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.

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.

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.

Brownscombe House has a dedicated activity area where residents can continue with existing interests and hobbies as well as discover new ones.

The full-time activity co-ordinator schedules a weekly calendar to include individual preferences as well as a variety of outings, and entertainment to suit all interests. This helps to provide structure to our residents’ day as well as offering mental and physical stimulation.
