A philosophy of individual care

Designed by Edward Lutyens at the turn of the century, Moorhouse is set in delightful grounds overlooking the 'Golden Valley' and other National Trust Land.

Moorhouse became a Nursing Home in 1966 and has been owned and run by the Shepherd family since 1970. It now incorporates the most modern facilities ensuring the utmost care, protection and safety of its residents.

Moorhouse is Dual Registered with West Surrey Health Authority for nursing care and Surrey County Council for Residential Care, enabling us to offer a full range of medical and convalescence facilities having regard to the need, requirements and independence of each individual resident; from those who are still active but require residential care and assistance to those who require more specialised nursing or terminal care.

In addition to our full range of Nursing and care facilities in Moorhouse at Moor Lodge we have created Close Care apartments for those who are able to maintain an independent life style with the reassurance of having full support and knowing that care is always near at hand when required.

Aims and objectives

Moorhouse aims to provide the highest standard of nursing care and support in a homely and tranquil atmosphere to enable all Residents to maintain as much independence of mind and spirit as their condition will allow, to ensure that all are happy and contented within our 'extended family' and provide such support as will enhance their quality of life and meet both their emotional and physical needs in the most caring and compassionate way.

Philosophy of Care

To those entrusted to our Care we present our Philosophy of the Care we wish you to receive at Moorhouse.

To provide a secure, stable and comfortable environment where individuality of care and maintenance of dignity is paramount.
 
To set realistic goals and encourage participation in decision making to reach those individual goals.
 
To stimulate and maintain physical and mental activity and social well being.
 
To share our world, remember preferences, accept idiosyncrasies and give help to achieve a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

 

Medical care

To achieve these aims and objectives Moorhouse is run under the personal supervision of Tim Shepherd with medical care under the direction of Mrs J Williams -Thomas RGN, Matron, and a team of qualified and highly trained Nursing Sisters and auxiliaries, to provide twenty four hour care of the highest standard.

Patients are seen by one of our visiting physicians or by their own doctor where practical; all treatment and medication being provided on the NHS, unless requested otherwise. Specialist medical facilities such as Physiotherapy, Chiropody and Speech Therapy are also available as and when required.
