About Crest Lodge Care Centre
Crest Lodge is a nursing home at Hindhead in Surrey. We support older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing care, including many living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. Having registered nurses as part of the team means people with complex health needs can stay with us as those needs change rather than being moved on again. That continuity is worth a great deal, particularly for somebody living with dementia. Having younger adults as well as older residents means we do not run one programme and call it activities, because what suits one rarely suits the other. Somebody in their forties who needs nursing care has not reached the end of anything, and the worst thing a setting like ours can do is quietly treat them as a patient whose life is now their care. The clinical side is only part of a day and usually the smaller part. The rest is meals people want, help without a long wait, privacy, company, and being treated as somebody with a history. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Nothing we could write matters as much as how somebody is spoken to at three in the morning.
