A Special Place to Pause and Reflect
If your loved one enjoys nature, fresh air or simply a peaceful spot to relax, they’ll love Grandma’s Cottage at Horsell Lodge Care Home. Once a simple maintenance shed, this welcoming space was lovingly transformed by residents into a homely retreat, complete with a working kitchen and toilet facilities. It’s now the perfect place to enjoy a cuppa after tending to the garden or spending quiet time in the adjacent memorial garden.
Though its grand opening, led by the local Mayor, was a highlight some time ago, Grandma’s Cottage remains a meaningful and calming feature of life at Horsell Lodge, offering comfort, connection and a little slice of everyday joy.
Round The Clock Nursing Care
We understand how important it is to find the right support as your loved one’s needs evolve. That’s why our nursing care offers reassurance and peace of mind when their care becomes more complex. Whether they’re living with a long-term health condition, mobility challenges or need more medical support than before, our compassionate team is here to help every step of the way.
Our experienced nurses provide round-the-clock care that’s tailored to your loved one’s needs, combining clinical expertise with genuine kindness. From medication management to personal care and emotional support, we make sure every day is as comfortable and dignified as possible.
If your loved one currently needs residential care but may require more advanced support in the future, choosing a home that offers both services under one roof means they can stay in a familiar and supportive environment.

Keeping Things Personal
The wonderful surroundings at our care home in Surrey 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 at Horsell Lodge, 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.
