About David Gresham House
David Gresham House in Oxted is a residential care home for older people who need help with daily living. We support people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays. A good deal of our work lies in details that are easy to overlook. A room arranged so that somebody can manage it independently. Lighting, contrast and clear signs that make sense to a person with poor vision or with dementia. A hearing aid that has been checked and is actually working, because a conversation somebody cannot follow is worse than no conversation at all. Equipment within reach, so that moving about does not mean waiting for help. Beyond that we try to keep life ordinary. People choose their own routines, keep their own things around them, eat food cooked here with real choice at each meal, and have company or quiet as they prefer. Help with washing, dressing and mobility is given at the person's own pace and recorded carefully so it happens the same way whoever is on duty. With dementia we rely on knowing somebody well, so we gather a person's history with their family and keep adding to it, and we keep the shape of the day predictable. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall, and visitors are welcome.
