About College of St Barnabas
The College of St Barnabas is a residential care home in Lingfield, providing care for older people in a setting that has always been as much a community as an institution. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Life here is built around company and independence in roughly equal measure. Residents have their own space and their own routines, and there is a shared life to join when they want it: meals together, the chapel, the library, conversation that assumes people still have things worth saying. A good many of those who come to us have led busy working lives and have no intention of stopping being interested in the world. Care itself is provided quietly and properly. Help with washing, dressing, medicines and mobility, given at someone's own pace and in a way that leaves their dignity intact. When needs grow, we talk about it openly and early rather than allowing a situation to drift. The grounds and the setting in the Surrey countryside are genuinely part of what we offer. Somewhere to walk, somewhere to sit, and light and space that lift the mood on an ordinary day. Respite stays suit people recovering their strength and families who need a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do come and visit, stay for lunch and see whether the place suits you.
