Garth House Nursing Home is Located in a quiet residential area on the western slopes of Tower Hill, just to the south of Dorking in Surrey.
With a homely atmosphere and highly trained staff available to get to know residents individually offering the highest standards of residential, nursing and dementia care on a permanent and short stay basis.
The home was officially opened in 1949 by the Queen's physician, Lord Harden. Reputed to have been built at the turn of the last century, it is a distinguished character house set in large landscaped gardens.
Many of the rooms overlook the peaceful grounds which consist of sweeping lawns, mature trees and numerous banks of flowering shrubs and flower beds. Delightfully situated on the picturesque area of Tower Hill, it is within walking distance of the local amenities in the town of Dorking.
The professional care team works closely with residents to ensure everyone who wishes to can play an active role in the day to day activities at the home. Residents also benefit from a broad range of activities with dedicated health and wellbeing coordinators who ensure a varied and stimulating programme is available to residents daily.

My mother was admitted to Garth House at the end of September. This is her fourth home in two years, the others having been less than satisfactory, to say the least! From the moment you walk in the door at Garth House, it is like home from home. The carers are always happy and friendly and obviously enjoy their jobs. The nursing staff are excellent, with every minor detail picked up on and actioned. This has taken a great deal of stress off of me. I thoroughly recommend Garth House to anyone who needs an excellent care home. Well done to the manageress.

My mother came to live at Garth House Care Home in February aged 93. I have nothing but the highest praise for this wonderful home where she stayed until needing to go into hospital for a couple of weeks before she died. The staff at Garth House Care Home are simply outstanding in their care, warmth, good humour and love. It is also a beautiful place with glorious grounds, just couldn't have asked for more.

Dad has been at Garth House for just over 2 years. Unfortunately in that time his dementia has become worse. But the staff who work there still treat dad as a human being and with a lot of dignity. He can no longer stand or walk but the staff move him between a wheelchair and his chair or bed with care and attempt to be as gentle as possible. It is good that the staff are directly employed and there doesn't seem to be a very high turnover of staff. The home always looks clean and the food always looks good and they offer a good choice everyday. There are regular meetings between the residents families and the staff to ensure good communication.
My husband is cared for with dignity and compassion. The staff are very kind and pleasant and always have time for him. All his needs are met and he feels safe, secure and well looked after.
