About Us
Vine House is a residential care home for older people in Midhurst, caring for residents from across West Sussex and the surrounding countryside. We provide permanent places and planned respite stays, and we support people living with dementia, those with physical disabilities and residents with visual or hearing impairments.
We aim for a household that feels domestic and unhurried. There is time here to help someone get ready without rushing them, time for a proper conversation and time to sit with a resident having a difficult afternoon. Meals are a genuine part of the day with an alternative always available, and residents keep their own routines as far as they can.
Where a resident has a sensory impairment, we adapt how we communicate and how spaces are arranged rather than expecting them to adjust to us. Lighting, contrast, noise and clear layout make a considerable difference and they are worth taking seriously.
Dementia care starts with knowing the person. Their history, their working life, their family and what has always settled them guide how we support them, and when someone is unsettled we look for the specific cause behind it.
For residents with physical disabilities we plan and equip so that reduced mobility does not shrink someone's world.
The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection.
You are very welcome to visit on an ordinary day and see how things really run.
