About Dene Place Care Home

Dene Place is a 30-bed nursing care home located on Ripley Lane in West Horsley, near Leatherhead in Surrey. The home is operated by St Dominic's Limited and provides nursing care for older people, with specialist dementia support.

The home was last inspected by the Care Quality Commission in October 2018, when it achieved a Good rating. It offers nursing-level care alongside accommodation for residents who require ongoing medical support and monitoring.

The West Horsley location provides access to local amenities while maintaining a quieter, more residential setting. The home's focus on dementia care means staff have specific training and experience in supporting residents with cognitive decline, memory loss, and related conditions common in older age.

As a smaller care home with 30 beds, Dene Place may offer a more intimate environment compared to larger facilities, though the level of personalised attention depends on staffing arrangements and individual care planning.
