Care Homes in Surrey: Nursing, Residential & Dementia Homes

With over 250 registered care homes in Surrey there are seemingly plenty of options. How you choose the best care home with your elderly parent or relative will be based on a range of practical and emotional decisions which may include: the type of care needed (now and in the future), the location of the care home, amenities and services available, does it take pets, and the all-important cost. To help your search we have compiled a list of Surrey care homes.

We have included different options so that you can start to see what different care homes provide, and what to look for. From larger, purpose-built care homes with specialist care units, to smaller, more “home from home” residential care homes in Surrey. The choice can be almost overwhelming, and very individual. We have also included a range of providers, from large national groups to small owner-managed businesses, as well as charities.

Room availability may be your biggest challenge particularly if a place is needed fast, so well worth doing some research ahead of time and making contact with your preferred options.

How do we pay for a care home place?
