About Fircroft Home

Fircroft Home is an 18-bed residential care home located on Ladbroke Road in Redhill, Surrey. It provides care for older people, younger adults, and individuals with dementia, learning disabilities, or mental health conditions. The home's smaller size allows for a more personalised approach to care across its diverse service user groups.

The home was rated Good by the Care Quality Commission following an inspection in April 2022. It is operated by Fir Ridge Care Home Ltd and serves the local Redhill community and wider Surrey area.

The home's willingness to support multiple care needs, including both older people and younger adults with specialist requirements, distinguishes it from homes that focus on single client groups. This mixed approach means residents benefit from a multi-disciplinary care environment.
