A warm welcome to Moorhouse Nursing Home
Nursing, Dementia and Residential Care Home in Hindhead
Moorhouse Nursing Home is an Edwardian country house in the pretty village of Hindhead in Surrey. It was originally built as the first hotel in the area by famous English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, designed for affluent Edwardians. You’ll find that character and grandeur in our home today, with some of the original features intact and the hotel’s porcelain plates on display.
Today, Moorhouse Nursing Home, based in Hindhead, is the home-from-home for a close group of 36 elderly care residents who require support with general living, as well as nursing and dementia care on both a short and long-term basis.
The nursing and dementia care home is set in landscaped gardens, with private patios and shared seating areas for your loved one to enjoy. It boasts stunning views overlooking the National Trust’s Golden Valley and Surrey countryside, and is close to the Hindhead village centre for trips out.
Having worked in care for over 40 years starting as a care assistant and then qualifying as a nurse, I believe the knowledge and experience that I have gained helps me to guide families and their loved ones through what can be a very difficult time in their lives. I enjoy working at Moorhouse as it has a happy and homely feel where staff strive to make every resident feel valued and unique.
