About Grace House Care Home
Grace House Care Home is a residential home in Farnham, Surrey, looking after older people who need support with daily living. Dementia care is central to what we do. We keep the house calm and familiar, we give people time rather than moving them along, and we make sure staff know each resident's history and habits. Knowing who somebody has been tells you a great deal about how to help them now, and it is the difference between care that fits the person and care that merely completes the tasks. We want this to feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been placed. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines, choose how they spend their time and see visitors whenever suits them. Meals are planned around what people actually enjoy, and there is company for those who want it and quiet for those who would rather step away. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether to give a family carer a proper break or to support someone while they regain confidence after illness. Relatives are welcome at any reasonable hour and we keep them properly informed. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and look round at a time that suits you and ask us whatever you need to ask.
