Welcome to Garth House Dorking, Surrey
Our home is free from Coronavirus
Located in a quiet residential area on the western slopes of Tower Hill, just to the south of Dorking in Surrey, you’ll find first-class facilities with exciting activities, and plenty of places to relax or entertain. Many of the rooms offer picturesque views across the wonderful Mediterranean gardens featuring mature specimen trees, colourful flowerbeds and flowering shrubs.
We're open for safe admissions, managing visits and routinely testing everyone. Our strict Infection Control Assurance measures are in place to safeguard our residents, colleagues and all visiting professionals. Weekly testing of all colleagues and monthly testing of all residents is being carried out as per current government guidance. New residents benefit from a personalised wellbeing plan during their initial 7-14 days and we welcome named visitors to help them settle in.
If you’re a little unsure of what type of care is needed, or would like to move in as a couple, we’re happy to help with the details.

Daily life

Keeping things personal
At Garth House
The wonderful surroundings at Garth House are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.
We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.
Every need catered for
Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Garth House. We know eating well and the social experience of dining are key to health and wellbeing. Our chefs select a different menu each day, creating lots of home-cooked dishes with fresh ingredients to choose from. Using their in-depth knowledge of nutrition, they cater for any special diets and needs.
Keep doing what you love
At Garth House, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy – from the craft room to the hair salon, our packed schedule of events and activities, to lunches in the garden. And if residents prefer to spend one-on-one time with a member of the team, they can read the paper, pop to the shops or simply have a chat. We have strong connections with the Dorking community, many of our residents invite them to join in our activities or even run their own here.
You'll be in good company this spring

Book a respite stay for peace of mind
Over four million older people in the UK say they feel lonely and lack the friendship and support which we all need. Our respite and permanent stays offer the chance to see some new faces and try out some new things with as much or as little support as you need.
During this unprecedented time, many residents have chosen us for peace of mind so they feel safe in the knowledge that care and support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should they need it, as well as staying connected. Whether you're looking for permanent care or a respite stay, ask us about our latest availability in our homes and the extra things we are doing to keep our residents, families and teams safe.

You’ll find the team here are passionate about meeting every individual’s needs, going out of their way to make Garth House a place residents can call their own. Our team includes nurses and carers experienced in all types of care.
