About Signature

Signature at Banstead is a nursing home in Banstead, Surrey, providing care for older people who need qualified nursing support at any hour of the day or night. We also care for people living with dementia, for adults with physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment, and for younger adults whose conditions bring them to us earlier in life. Respite stays are available for those needing a shorter period of care. Good nursing should feel unobtrusive. Medication, wound care, continence, nutrition and mobility all need proper clinical attention, and our nurses give it, but the point of doing it well is that residents can get on with living. People here choose when to rise, what to eat, where to spend the day and whose company they want, and their own furniture, photographs and habits come with them. For residents living with dementia we keep the surroundings calm and the routine predictable, and we take the trouble to learn a person's history. Knowing what someone's working life was, who they loved and what music they grew up with is usually worth more than any technique when a day turns difficult. We keep families closely involved. Visitors are welcome at times that suit them, and we tell relatives promptly when something changes, including when the news is not good. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Anyone considering a move for themselves or a relative is welcome to visit and see how we work.
