Birtley House is set in 48 acres of magnificent grounds with lakes and beautiful lawns & herbaceous borders. Very restorative for the soul. There is the beautiful old house, attached annex & mews. The carers are plentiful and very mindful of your needs, cannot do enough for you. The nursing staff are excellent and are on time for your medication, listen to any health issues. The local doctor who attends weekly is excellent too. I cannot recommend Birtley more highly for its personal care & attention.

Were delighted that you enjoyed our beautiful grounds and, most importantly, felt so well cared for and listened to by our dedicated care and nursing teams.

Birtley House was just the sort of environment that we wanted my father to be in for his final days. The family-run feeling permeated the business, and staff always appeared happy to work there. The setting is ideal for allowing an older person to feel that they are retiring to the country. A country manor feeling, surrounded by beautiful countryside. We were very pleased with the professional manner with which staff members ranging from the owners, to management, receptionists, nurses and care workers conducted themselves. Ultimately, dad was able to end his life with as much dignity as possible, in comfort and with people who cared for him. I would recommend Birtley to anyone.
Thank you for your thoughtful review and recommendation. It was a privilege to care for your father, and we're so pleased that our home and team helped make this difficult time a little easier for your family
The staff at Birtley House, to a person are just brilliant at their jobs. We arrived under difficult and stressful circumstances with my mother being at end of life care and they were so very professional, warm and helpful that it restored my faith in the care service industry after some bad...

It is important to me to leave a review for Birtley House because of how grateful I am for the amount of care the staff provided my Mum while she stayed, she there. She went to stay at Birtley House because she needed respite from feeling low and needed some support with everyday life after her Husband passed. Honestly, the staff were wonderful. After a two week stay she felt a new person. It is due to them that she made a full recovery and now feels strong enough to look forward in life. She benefited from doing a daily walk around the beautifully kept surroundings and having access to all facilities available. She is now back home and plans to keep up with the new friends she made. So, a huge thank you to all the staff for being so welcoming and caring.
We are proud to have contributed to your mother's recovery, supporting her in regaining independence and confidence. We feel our outdoor environment and nature is a wonderful tonic to feeling better. Thank you for choosing Birtley House, Kind regards Jennifer Thompson, Marketing Manager.

I booked my mother into Birtley for one week after she broke her thumb, and while I was on holiday for a week. She had a very enjoyable stay, particularly having the chance to take part in the daily activities. The staff were extremely thoughful and caring. The room was lovely and the food was perfect for an elderly person.
Thank you for your kind words Linda. It is great to know that your mother had a great stay with us. We are glad she is on the mend and hope she continues to recover swiftly. Kind regards Jennifer

Having lived at home with a full time carer it became necessary for my 90 year old mother to have a greater level of care. I am extremely happy that she is at Birtley House. It is exemplary in every single respect. It was a huge change for her but all the caring and compassionate staff and the director's family have been wonderful in helping her to settle. She is looked after to a very high standard of personalised care. The food is excellent and delicious homemade teas are provided for residents and visitors alike. There is also a cafe with hot and cold drinks where you can help yourself and sit together as if you were in your own home. The gardens and grounds are beautiful and my mother is taken out every day, if she wishes. It really benefits from being family run and this what makes it feel like a home from home. I highly recommend it and am so thankful that my mother is able to benefit from such superb care in a very special setting.

I believe the high quality of the management and care I witnessed and enjoyed are due in no small part to the continuing family ownership and day to day management of Birtley House by the family, and the way they appear to care for both residents and employees.
It was a pleasure to help and support you with your recovery journey. We are pleased we could make your respite stay a positive experience. We are blessed with both our surroundings and to have such dedicated staff. Your lovely comments will be shared with the staff. It's always both rewarding and warming for Birtley to hear this kind of testimonial . Thank you for your kind feedback. Jennifer.

My wife was at Birtley House for 7 weeks of respite care at the start of 2025. We enjoyed dealing with this family-owned business and found the staff to be professional and welcoming. My wife benefitted from joining in with the activities and everything that Birtley House had to offer during her stay. She responded very well to the expert care provided and enjoyed the beautiful house and grounds during her time at Birtley House.

My father spent over 8 amazing and wonderful years in this magical family-run nursing home. It is as good as any five-star luxury country hotel. All the staff from reception, cleaning, catering, activities, care and nursing to management and directors were absolutely wonderful. The level of service given by everybody could not be better. The kindness, compassion, care, dignity and respect given is unsurpassed. I cannot think of a better place for my father to have been and will be eternally grateful for everything the home has done for him. It truly was his home away from home. The service provided could not have been better. The setting and grounds are truly magnificent, especially the views and lake. Thank you so much Birtley for loving Dad like he was a part of your family, I know in my heart he will miss you all very much, but will be smiling down on you now thanking you all very much for looking after him whilst in your care. Thank you all so very much from all our family.
Thank you for your very kind words. It goes without saying that your father will be greatly missed by all of us here at Birtley House. Over the 8 years your father truly became part of our extended family and part of all our celebrations. We are grateful that we were given the opportunity to care for him over the years and provide comfort in his final days.

Sylwia is an empathetic and dedicated care home manager with over 20 years of experience in geriatric care, combining deep clinical insight with a strong commitment to dignity, safety, and resident-centred practice.
She holds a Master’s degree in nursing alongside postgraduate qualifications in Medical Law and Bioethics, enabling me to lead with both compassion and a robust ethical framework. Her extensive background in complex care environments has shaped her ability to support residents with diverse physical, psychological, and social needs. As a qualified Mental Health First Aider and the home’s Safeguarding Lead, she ensures that wellbeing, protection, and early intervention remain central to everyday practice. I am known for a calm presence, thoughtful decision-making, and unwavering advocacy for safe, transparent, and respectful care. With a leadership style rooted in kindness and clinical professionalism, she empowers staff to grow in confidence, skill, and accountability. Her approach creates a culture where residents feel valued, families feel reassured, and teams feel supported to deliver exceptional care guided by ethical principles and evidence-based practice.
Sylwia is a positive character with various dimensions to her leadership; she goes the extra mile to always make sure our Residents are getting the most out of life and experiencing new things, whilst teaching her team to do the same. She has also written a book on end-of-life care following her own personal experience of caring for a close family member.

Qualifications: University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Romania, General Nurse qualifications in 2014, maximum degree.
Written by our Registered Manager, Vio was a finalist for the 'Frontline Leader of the Year' award at the Surrey Care Awards in 2019.
I met Viorica when I joined Birtley House in July 2018, it didn’t take me long to recognise her skills and abilities. In this short time, she proved to me her dedication, commitment, organisational and strong leadership skills.
After witnessing Vio’s work ethic, and the influence she has on others in the nursing team, general hard work, commitment and positive attitude to change, I chose to promote Vio to Clinical Lead in the Spring of 2019. Vio’s attitude is always positive and she is strategic in her approach to completing tasks. I have seen days where she might be facing a deadline, but she will continue to motivate others, find the paths of least resistance, and prioritise accordingly. Great skills to have in a reactive role such as nursing.Vio has raised the visibility of a smile around the home and she faces her duties with a focus on compassion and an open mind and she treats everybody fairly. Her passion and consistency support our home all the time.
Our latest CQC inspection on 7th June this year was of course unannounced and a first for Vio. She was a great support to me during this time, as I knew I could trust that she would be calm and professional. She was, and she reassured the three inspectors with her skills and knowledge. She was able to navigate them through the day with a great attitude, and she showed pride in her work as she found them the evidence of things that they requested.
Vio’s caring personality allows her to graciously and naturally respect resident’s values and respond actively to other people’s needs. Vio always wants the best possible outcomes for residents and staff. She genuinely, really cares and wants to make a difference.
As a qualified nurse myself and now an experienced Care Home Manager, I have learnt that to deliver good, quality, person-centred care and effective compassion, the nurse in question is required to use their head and heart. I have witnessed this quality in Viorica on numerous occasions, and she sets great examples for the team around her.
Every time I implement new innovations or a change Vio adopts a positive approach towards learning and embraces the challenge, because she wants to grow in her skills and knowledge, and she wants to be the best version of herself for the home.
I think that nothing can reward nursing practice as much as the feeling you get when you know that you are being the nurse, and the person, that you want to be – I strongly believe that Vio actively practices being this person. It takes courage and self-management to respond to people who are distressed and vulnerable, to advocate patient care or to challenge and change practice and Vio each time can deliver all.
I am very pleased to have Vio in my nursing team- she is truly a rising star in the nursing industry because of her dedication, kindness, attention to detail and empathetic compassion.

Hello, I'm Rudo and l have been a nurse for 14 years.
I started at Birtley House as a healthcare assistant and it really motivated me to pursue my nursing career. Having grown up living with my Grandmother, my passion is taking care of older people. Just after qualifying as a nurse, I went on to study a module at Brighton University which explored perceptions of ageing and why we should care for our elders in certain ways. Being able to apply this to my Nursing qualifications was perfect for the career that I have chosen, and which I love. I have been at Birtley House for around 18 years and only stepped away once for a short stint in a hospital environment to wider develop my knowledge and experience.
