About QEF Care and Rehabilitation Centre
Here at QEF Care and Rehabilitation Centre in Leatherhead, Surrey, we provide nursing home care for people with a wide range of needs and backgrounds. Our team supports older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments, offering each person the kind of attentive, respectful care that helps them feel genuinely at home. We are proud to hold a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the consistent effort our staff put into maintaining high standards day to day. That recognition matters to us, but what matters more is the feedback we hear directly from the people we support and their families, knowing that someone feels safe, comfortable and valued in our care is what drives everything we do. Nursing care sits at the heart of what we offer here. Our clinical team works closely alongside care staff to make sure that medical and personal needs are met promptly and with real thought given to each individual. We understand that coming into a care setting can feel like a significant step, and we work hard to make that transition as smooth and reassuring as possible. We also place great importance on rehabilitation. For many of the people we support, the goal is not simply to be looked after but to maintain or rebuild independence wherever that is possible. We take that seriously and approach it in a way that is realistic, encouraging and tailored to each person. Our setting draws on the wider ethos of QEF, an organisation with a longstanding commitment to supporting disabled people and those with complex needs. That background shapes how we think about care, with an emphasis on dignity, individuality and enabling people to live as fully as possible. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, we would be very glad to hear from you.
