Knowle Park is a magnificent early 19th century Manor House on the outskirts of Cranleigh, Surrey, that has been lovingly restored to provide residential and nursing care of distinction for up to 43 elderly ladies and gentlemen.

During the restoration process great care was taken to retain period features and, as a result, this care home has a truly bespoke ambience. Residents’ bedrooms and communal areas alike benefit from high ceilings, grand proportions and an original style that simply cannot be replicated in more modern buildings. In addition to the beautifully restored Manor House, residents at Knowle Park enjoy large gardens with extensive views over the Surrey countryside.

Knowle Park offers a full range of residential and nursing care support, including trial stays, respite breaks and convalescent care as well as long term care. Residents are encouraged to bring important personal possessions to personalise their rooms. Knowle Park operates an open visiting policy, where residents and loved ones may visit at convenient times. In common with all of our care homes, Knowle Park’s manager has a qualified nursing background. The home is fully registered with the Care Quality Commission and has ISO9001/2000 and Hospitality Assured accreditation.

Wednesday 22 May 2013

To reaffirm my feelings after over two years experience with my mother being resident. The staff are very good and show care and patience. The building is lovely and so much more 'homely' than the modern care homes. Recent newcomer to the running of entertainment is excellent showing great imagination to keeping people happy. Combine all with good food and the terrific Netra. Why say more?

My aunt is very happy at Knowle Park and is looked after very well by caring staff. There are various activities on most days in the week and some trips out. The home is set in lovely grounds and it is lovely to sit outside in the summer.

Review of Knowle Park, Cranleigh, Surrey by Wendy Gravestock (Daughter of Resident)

Wednesday 12 September 2012

I can thoroughly recommend Knowle Park as an outstanding nursing home. It is a spacious country house with wonderful views over the downs. The rooms are large and comfortable with high ceilings. My mother went there for respite care over several years. She was apprehensive at first but made very welcome by staff and had a lovely shared room with a partition. She was happy to go on future occasions and said if she had to go as a permanent resident Knowle Park would be the only place. We could visit when we liked and food was good. Sadly she passed away on her last visit. I will always be grateful for the care, kindness and professionalism of the staff.

They were able to take me on at short notice. I spent 2 weeks R & R in Knowle Park Care Home, which has beautiful grounds and peaceful surroundings. It is close to my own home and to my Cranleigh Health Care Unit.

The home is set in beautiful grounds with lovely views. Inside it is very homely with plenty of areas for sitting with relatives/friends. I have eaten a few times with my mum and the food is lovely, with several choices daily. There are activities most days for the residents to keep their brains active and trips out occasionally. The staff are lovely and friendly. On the odd occasion we've had a query it has been solved very quickly.

Review of Knowle Park, Cranleigh, Surrey by Nick P (Son of Resident)

Wednesday 8 August 2012

Knowle Park, as the name suggests is a care home with nursing, set in acres of parkland. The location is beautiful and being a long way from the road is very quiet. Management and staff are of excellent quality and always keen to assist when asked. My mother's room is of a good size and offers a good view over the lawns to the wooded copse. The food is varied in type and style and my experience of it suggests good quality. Having seen other care homes, I would not change my original choice.

Review of Knowle Park, Cranleigh, Surrey by Gillian P (Niece of Resident & Power of Attorney)

Monday 30 July 2012

This nursing home is a home from home. It is kept very clean, and always has fresh flowers. The staff are all very welcoming, and the nursing staff are very caring to the clients. You are never made to feel unwelcome, and the food is always very appetising. They cater for all types of food needs and help residents who are unable to feed themselves, there is never a rush to finish. My aunt has been there for 2 1/2 years, and I cannot find any fault with any aspect of her care.

Very attentive staff. Meals according to your preference which is wonderful. Attention through the night very good. Several activities to improve the wellbeing of patients. A meticulously run, and extremely caring lovely house with views of the Surrey hills.

Home is very nice. Nice big room. Staff work hard and are very caring. Good food. View all round the home. I enjoy the outings.

Review of Knowle Park, Cranleigh, Surrey by Shirley R (Daughter of Resident)

Monday 28 May 2012

My mother came to Knowle Park in January 2006 and the welcome she received was just lovely. She was suffering from dementia and throughout the last six years has worsened. The love, care and support of everyone at Knowle Park has been amazing to both my mother and our family. We have been able to take holidays in the knowledge that she could not be in a better place. Our family cannot fault KP in any way. Netra Longhurst runs a happy and caring home and we recommend it highly on so many levels. We only hope there is a KP when we need one.
