About Elizabeth Court

Elizabeth Court is a residential care home in Caterham, caring for older people from across Surrey. We provide permanent residential places and planned respite stays, and we support residents living with dementia. What we aim for is a household where people know one another, where staff have time to sit and talk and where the shape of the day comes from the people living in it rather than from a timetable on a wall. Breakfast happens when people are ready, meals are a genuine part of the day with an alternative always available, and residents keep their own routines as far as they can. Dementia care begins with knowing the person. A resident's working life, their family, their habits and what has always comforted them tell us far more about how to support them than any general approach could. When someone becomes unsettled we look for the specific cause rather than reaching for a routine response. Residents are encouraged to bring their own furniture and pictures, because a room only really becomes yours once your own things are in it. Preferences about food, bedtimes and privacy are treated as decisions rather than requests. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. You are very welcome to visit us on an ordinary day, meet the people who live here and ask whatever you need to before deciding anything.
