Vine House is a small, private, family-run residential home which has enjoyed considerable acclaim and many accolades over 35+ years. They pride themselves on their welcoming and homely atmosphere in addition to their first-rate care.
This special home is located on the outskirts of Midhurst, a small market town, in the heart of the South Downs National Park. A wide selection of shops and amenities are close-by. Their own mobility car assists with longer journeys to appointments, a trip to the beach or there’s a popular bus stop just outside.
Vine House is a traditional, large family home with 14 well-furnished bedrooms; all equipped with Nurse Call, a television, Wi Fi, an Amazon Echo and a telephone facility. Residents are encouraged to bring their own furnishings, memorabilia, pictures and knick-knacks to personalise their own bedroom. Twelve bedrooms have en-suite facilities while the remaining two bedrooms have vanity units (wash basins) and have easy access to adjacent bathrooms.
Well maintained gardens boast several separate patio areas to enjoy the summer sun, the wildlife or just watch the world go by! Many residents love to tend to their own individual raised flower beds or contributing to their fruit and vegetable gardens. A private car park can be found at the rear of the home and there is also ample off-street parking available.
The Vine House staff are noted for being compassionate and caring and pride themselves on always providing a high level of round-the-clock care and support. GPs and health practitioners visit whenever needed while a chiropodist, hairdressers and clergy visit regularly. There are a variety of daily activities, special events, local outings and of course there is always time for a cuppa and a chat!
Friends and family are welcome to visit whenever they wish. To join residents for lunch or afternoon tea or just to pop in and say hello - the doors are always open.

Nothing appears to be too much trouble. I have a lot of experience of social health care settings and Vine House is undoubtedly top.

The friends she's made with the staff and owner, the activities are fun and also friends amongst the residents. The atmosphere is just so friendly and calming. It's the happiest I've seen her in years, she's just so content.

The care and compassion that were given to both family and the member of my extended family who was receiving end-of-life care at Vine House was wonderful. Nothing appeared too much for the staff and they regularly checked if anyone needed anything. As well as taking time to explain in a sensitive way what could be expected of someone whose loved one was dying.
Vine House has created a special place for my mother-in-law.

Vine House has created a special place for my mother-in-law. Within two weeks she was calling it home - the staff from carers, chefs and management really want her to have a great day and just be happy - her room is bright and airy and spotlessly clean - and we can visit any time of day. With the home under new management - lots of things are happening to encourage her out of her room and create a social atmosphere which she was lacking at home - the smile on her face, when we visit, says it all - she's found somewhere to feel safe and looked after - what more can you ask for in a home for your loved one.

Mum entered the care home in May. She had for a long time been very much against the idea of moving into a home but her care needs developed to such an extent that the hospital said it was the only option. All her fears (and ours) evaporated very quickly. She was welcomed as though into a family and the care she has received has been exemplary. Nothing is too much trouble either for her or those visiting - who are welcomed at any time with a cup of tea or coffee. Their individual wants and needs are catered for and I have seen nothing but compassion and kindness. Mum has dementia and is encouraged to participate in activities downstairs but equally those residents who prefer the privacy of their own rooms have the freedom to do what they want. I have witnessed how quickly the staff respond to the buzzers of residents who choose to stay in their rooms - always quickly and with a smile.

Vine House is a small home and because of that it has a very homely feel, and manages to treat all the residents as individuals. My mother has been a resident for 18 months and her care has been excellent. All the staff are very caring and thoughtful; they manage to adapt the daily care needs they provide to how she is feeling on that day. Nothing is too much trouble. I'm always kept informed of issues regarding my mum's care, and I'm given a warm welcome when I visit.
Excellent care, brilliant staff. Very happy with every aspect.

It's a pleasant atmosphere to be a part of when I visit. The manager is doing a fine job! She is clearly passionate about her work and cares for residents and their relatives.
All really perfect, couldn't wish for better. Thank you all.

I highly recommend Vine House, the staff are amazing and take great care looking after Mum's needs. The quality of care is very good, her room is lovely and the food looked delicious. I also 100% know she's being looked after properly and feel she is very safe.

Very impressed with the care and friendliness of all the staff. Mum has been treated with dignity, and nothing has been too much trouble to ensure that she is settled in. Her large family enjoy the freedom to come and go whenever works for us. Cannot speak too highly of this residence.

My mother was a resident at Vine House Older Persons Residence for nearly seven years. The care and love that she received was exceptional. Sadly, She recently passed away after a short illness. The care that she was given in her last few days was truly remarkable. Myself and my two sisters were able to stay with her, day and night and the care staff made us feel very welcome and not only cared for our mum in such a compassionate way but also supported us with any physical and emotional needs. All staff went the extra mile to ensure that this very sad and emotional time was made just that little bit less difficult. The carers at Vine House are an incredible team who cares for all their residents with compassion and dignity. Not only are these very special people amazing carers but over the past seven years or so, became great friends with Mum and all our family and I will never forget them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The home is...
The home is very small and intimate, it is, above all, homely. It has a beautiful garden overlooking the rolling fields of the South Downs.
There are activities and a garden party in the summer and a Christmas party. The food is freshly cooked each day and is delicious.
Many of the carers have been at the home for years so continuity of care is apparent.
I cannot express how amazing the staff are at Vine House, over the years and our regular visits, we have grown to feel they are friends. No time was more apparent than in the last few months of Mum’s life, when palliative care was excellent, giving Mum and her family so much comfort at a very difficult time. We will never forget this exemplary care.

He very quickly settled in at Vine House and made friends easily, helped by the fact it was like home from home (very comfortable, extremely homely, so friendly and welcoming with excellent food and such lovely, caring staff), he said after a few weeks of just trying it out "this is home now" and he felt comfortable extending his stay, that was very reassuring to hear and that he was happy.
Myself, l can't thank everyone there enough, each and everyone would make me feel welcome when l visited my stepdad and knew who l was and l got to know each of them.
He sadly passed in November last year peacefully and l take comfort in the fact he had such a comfortable stay.
My dad was fortunate enough to spend his final eighteen months at Vine House Older Persons Residence. Having been originally "discharged to assess" from hospital to a care home near him in London, when it became clear that going back home was not an option, I decided to look for a care home nearer...
By chance, Vine House was the very first I looked at. Compared to the other three I'd considered, I felt I was listened to more and the needs of my dad were understood the most. Moving him in was painless and he settled very quickly, describing it often as "like El Dorado in here!"
He declined, of course, and in his last couple of months when he was not himself, the staff were kind and patient with him. When he eventually passed, they were equally kind and caring to my family and me, as we dealt with our loss.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Vine House to anyone looking for reliable, considerate and professional care for a loved one.
The standard of care, food, hygiene and patient dignity was excellent. The only reason for ticking the 'good ratings' was because I didn't have experience of them! I would choose to go there should the need arise.
