About care in RH1
RH1 covers Redhill, Merstham, Salfords, and Nutfield in Surrey — a commuter-belt district with three Outstanding-rated homes and one of the stronger care quality profiles in the Tandridge and Reigate area. The 19 CQC-registered homes here provide 448 beds; Holkham House (10 beds), Martham House (10 beds), and Cavendish (6 beds) all hold Outstanding status — all three are smaller specialist providers for adults with learning disabilities or complex needs rather than large elderly care homes. Overall, 12 homes are rated Good, two are Requires Improvement, and none are Inadequate; two are not yet rated. The concentration of Outstanding ratings reflects RH1's strength in supported living and small-group specialist provision, which sits alongside a larger group of Good-rated residential and nursing homes serving the over-65 population. Surrey County Council funds placements for eligible residents, with personal budget rates that are higher than the national average, reflecting Surrey's cost of living. East Surrey Hospital (Redhill) provides the main NHS referral and discharge pathway. Key specialisms include dementia, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, sensory impairments, substance misuse, and children and young adult support. Families seeking nursing or dementia care in RH1 will find the Good-rated homes provide a reliable baseline, while those needing specialist learning disability or complex needs support have access to three Outstanding options.
