Dorking Manor Care Home

There looks to be a lot of activities and events for the residents to enjoy. The gardens are beautiful and after seeing how the dining rooms are set for meals I was left feeling that the staff working here really look like they take a lot of pride in making this home a wonderful experience for its residents.

I have been to several care homes as a visitor and found them to be adequate. However, having visited Dorking Manor 3 times I felt confident ot come here for respite. I have not been disappointed. I have enjoyed my stay here. When I came from hospital I felt weak, had not much appetite & had to rely on a wheelchair to get around. Now, almost at the end of my stay; I am earing at every meal, exploring the garden and the encouragement the staff have given me have given me independence again. I can not praise them enough. They always have a smile. A great place, care & comfort.

I am very happy my mum is there.

My mum went for 2 weeks respite care so I could go away for a few days. All the staff were so welcoming during my first visit and when I visited my mum during her stay. My mum was very relaxed when I visited and as a family we definitly considering either regular stays for respite or maybe even a permanent stay

I was very nervous about coming for 2 weeks respite care but I have found the whole experience very enjoyable. All the staff are warm and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. The meals are very good and the Bistro and outside area are lovely places to take visitors to have tea/coffee/cake/biscuits. Sometimes I preferred to have my meals in my room but generally I joined the other residents in the dining room. I didn't have many opportunities to join in activities because I often had visitors then, but the ones I did, I enjoyed.

Lovely caring home - well managed happy atmosphere - great food - bistro wonderful meeting place

I required respite care for Mum who lives with Dementia. Having looked at local homes I chose Dorking Manor. The home is beautiful and the staff gave me great confidence in looking after Mum. She had a great stay and we will be returning again soon.

I had a serious injury to my left which was placed in a plaster cast. This prevented me from returning home as I couldn't negotiate all the steps in my house. The care home manager visited and gave me a very thorough briefing. The home managed to offer me a room for 2 weeks. The home is absolutely impressive. So clean and well designed with amazing staff from the manager to the lovely carers who treated me with respect and care. I was so lucky to be there. I was given a room which opened out to the gardens and was close to the lounge. The air conditioning was a blessing. The home is like a top hotel!

Thank you for providing us with a timely and excellent solution.

Wonderful place that really is dad's home. His personalised room with his own things and some of his favourite plants in the garden, along with wonderful staff has made Dorking Manor his home. It is located in a beautiful building and has extensive gardens. Staff are very caring and see residents as individuals making an effort to really know them. Its a lovely environment for families and friends to visit especially with the private dining room to entertain other visitors in. Staff keep me well informed of dads health. Dad is safe and cared for well which is so reassuring.

Beautiful place and great atmosphere.

Overall, I'm very grateful for the care and kindness I received and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dorking Manor to anyone considering a stay.

My mum recently spent two weeks in respite care at Dorking Manor Care Home and it was such a positive experience for her. From the moment she arrived, she felt comfortable and at ease thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The facilities and décor throughout the home are truly beautiful and thoughtfully designed, spotlessly clean, and inviting, which made her stay even more pleasant. The staff were exceptional, always attentive, kind, and patient, making sure she was well looked after at all times. My mum particularly enjoyed participating in the various activities organised throughout her stay, which offered her both stimulation and enjoyment. Overall, the care home provided excellent support, and my mum left feeling refreshed and happy. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home for anyone considering respite care for their loved ones.

We had to find a care home quickly due to a family bereavement. Dorking Manor came to our aid very quickly and placed Mum within a couple of days. The staff have done everything they can to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Mum finds the home unique. Staff are excellent. Mum is very happy here. A lovely setting, nice and modern. The medical attention is very focused and good. Mum cannot wait to get outside into the garden and sit on her balcony.

My mother had a lovely experience. It was great respite - we were reassured that she was in very good hands. Beautiful room at the home, with amazing facilities, excellent staff and management. Would definitely use this wonderful home again.

Dorking Manor is in a class of its own.

I was lucky enough to spend a 3 week respite stay at Dorking Manor. It is a lovely care home, beautifully appointed with a homely yet swanky feel about it. All staff that I encountered were kind, friendly and very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for anyone. I immediately felt at home and happy there. The food was superb, plentiful and there was excellent choice. I particularly like the spa bathroom and my family and friends who visited loved the bistro and the cinema room. Would happily return for future respite.

I have visited my friend (resident) regularly for some months and have seen a huge improvement in both her mental and physical health in that time. I'm told the food is excellent.
