About Dene Place Care Home

Dene Place is a nursing home in Leatherhead, where qualified nurses are on duty around the clock alongside our care team. People usually come to us when care at home or in a residential setting is no longer enough, and our job is to make that move feel like a gain rather than a loss. We care for older people, including many living with dementia, and we support people whose health needs are complex or changing. Nursing here means careful attention to the ordinary things that keep people well: skin, nutrition, pain, mobility, continence and medication, reviewed properly and discussed with the person and their family rather than managed quietly in the background. Alongside that, we try hard to keep hold of the parts of life that have nothing to do with illness. People get up when they wake, sit where they like, keep their own belongings about them and eat food that suits their taste as well as their diet. Our grounds are a real asset and we use them whenever the weather allows. We offer respite stays as well as longer places, which can give a family carer a proper rest. Families tell us that honest conversation matters more than reassurance, and we try to give them that, especially as someone nears the end of life. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
