About Knowle Park Nursing Home
Knowle Park Nursing Home is near Cranleigh, providing nursing care to older adults and to some younger adults, with respite stays available. Many of our residents live with dementia. Having qualified nurses on duty at all hours means health needs are recognised and dealt with here, by people who already know the resident, rather than through a hospital admission that frail or confused people find distressing and often return from weaker than before. It also means a family ringing with a concern can get a proper clinical answer straight away. For residents living with dementia our approach depends on familiarity more than on anything clinical. The same staff, a routine that keeps its shape, surroundings that make sense, and the patience to give somebody time to respond in their own way. Where a resident is distressed we look for the cause rather than simply managing what is in front of us. The setting here is an advantage and we make use of it, because getting outside matters to people and is the first thing to slide when a home gets busy. Respite stays are planned with the same care as a permanent admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Anyone considering a nursing home for themselves or a relative is welcome to visit and see the place properly.
