Pax Hill is care home set in nine acres of gardens in the picturesque village of Bentley on the border between Surrey and Hampshire. Every room in this unusual circular building has views of the surrounding countryside or central courtyard through low level picture windows.
Each bedroom has large en-suite shower rooms with wheelchair access, electric profiling beds, flat screen television, telephone and access to a broadband internet connection.
Nursing and care staff are on duty 24 hours a day to provide help whatever your care requirements.
Separate, self-contained care areas enable them to provide different types of care and to enable residents to feel comfortable with their surroundings.
Professionals provide general nursing care, palliative care, nursing care for dementia and residential care.
Activity therapists provide a social calendar of events and support to encourage communication and maintenance of an active lifestyle. Alternatively, the gardens provide the perfect place for tranquillity and a spot of gardening.
They are happy to offer respite and short-term care for a few days to a few weeks to cover post-operative recuperation, carers holidays and breaks, or trial visits to see if care home life is suitable for you.

Mum is well looked after in all aspects of her care. There are plenty of permanent care staff who are cheerful and thoughtful. Mum’s medical needs are supervised by the nursing staff, with whom we have very good relationships.
Activity Coordinators do a superb job. There are a range of activities each week, in the lounge, in the activity room, or when the weather is pleasant, outside.
The cleverly designed, purpose-built home is set in beautiful grounds. The gentle curve of the corridor makes the spacious building feel cosy. Her en-suite bedroom is well equipped and has a gorgeous view. The home is always very clean.
Mum is safely looked after and she is happy. I visit frequently and the visits are enjoyable.
We have to trust someone to look after mum, and I am pleased that we can trust, wholeheartedly, the staff at Pax Hill.
I have found all the staff very caring and friendly and very willing.
I really enjoy all the activities I can attend and the outings that are arranged which means that I do not have to spend a lot of time in my room.

I really enjoy all the activities I can attend and the outings that are arranged which means that I do not have to spend a lot of time in my room.
Having friends and family living close by is, of course, a bonus.
The outlook from my room is beautiful and I love watching the wildlife and being able to sit outside.
I am a little disappointed with the food, always having been used to home cooking.
Very often it is too spicy and peppery and chips with everything.
Also, the desserts taste very artificial and too sweet for someone with diabetes.
I do realise it is difficult cooking for large numbers.

Activity co-ordinators are talented and imaginative, working tirelessly to: devise outings; provide a wide variety of diversions and activities; organise seasonal events; and still find time for a one-to-one with residents.
Catering's excellent, with appealing, varied menus and chefs open to suggestions. Everything (including afternoon and residents’ birthday cakes) prepared on site, in pristine modern facilities.
Hygiene standards are high throughout; residents’ bathrooms spotless. Cleaners smart, friendly, and thorough. Decoration/maintenance to highest levels.
Management is approachable and highly effective, regular surveys encourage feedback, shortcomings/suggestions speedily implemented.
An uplifting, reassuring team spirit pervades Pax Hill. It is a very special place.

This home is spotlessly clean and all staff seem to provide a sympathetic and caring support to the residents. Activities are available for those residents who want it. Food looks appetising and well presented.

My 90-year-old mother first came to Pax Hill in September 2017 for respite care having been hospitalised after a fall at home. Initially, she was confused and unhappy being away from her home. After assessments, it was realised she needed to be in full-time care. With the help of the caring staff, my mother has now settled in well and is very happy. She is fulsome in her praise of everyone. The nurses and carers are aware of her specific needs, likes and dislikes and are always respectful and helpful. She has mobility difficulties and vascular dementia and has always been demanding, very independent of mind and spirit and it takes special skills to care well for such people. This is carried out in an exemplary way by everyone involved at Pax Hill. The staff, from the receptionists to the carers, nurses, activity staff, maintenance, management and admin - have all been helpful and very caring to me as well throughout a very stressful period. My mother and I now have peace of mind.
I have been in this care home for one year. It is comfortable and friendly. I moved in here a year ago to be near my two sons as my husband had died and they both live in Farnham.

We came to the new building several years ago and except for a blip or two, it has been a happy time.

My experience is as noted by my ratings and I don't think I can add anything but would emphasise that the care is really excellent.

Very welcoming girls (care staff) efficient, kind and charming. Well-run, nice people and accommodation. Food is boring - would like stewed fruit (essential) - would like more variety, quality was good but would like a wider range. Enjoyed residents company - lovely location, relatives made welcome. Availability to Doctor good. Beds comfortable and slept well though used to a wider bed at home. Pleased to be allowed my mobility scooter in the building. Appreciate ground floor location and easy access to fresh air.
Very happy with the home and staff.

My mother has been at this care home for five years after a serious fall which caused her to need two people to care for her. I have always felt safe leaving her in the care of this home. On all shifts, there has been no staff who have not been very patient and respectful of her. The staff are mostly foreign with spoken English that is very good. Food fresh, modern facilities, a larger communal lounge might encourage more to leave their rooms. Varied activity programme though not many go outside or physically get exercise a little expensive.
