About Westcott House Nursing Home
Westcott House Nursing Home is in Dorking, Surrey, caring for people who need qualified nursing support alongside help with daily living. We care for older people and younger adults, support residents living with dementia or a mental health condition, look after people with a physical disability and those living with a visual or hearing impairment, and offer respite stays for shorter periods. Having nurses on site means health needs can be met here as they change, so people do not have to move on at the point when familiar surroundings matter most. We manage long term conditions, provide wound and continence care, and offer end of life care with dignity and as little disruption as possible. Alongside the nursing, we work hard to keep daily life ordinary. Residents decide when to get up, where to spend their time, what they eat and how much company they want. Meals are cooked on the premises and preferences are remembered. Our staff take time to learn what settles a particular resident and what unsettles them, and we make sure conversation reaches residents with a sensory impairment properly. We work closely with GPs, community mental health teams and district nurses, and we keep families closely informed. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall.
