About
Orchard House Nursing Home is in Sutton, Greater London, and offers residential, nursing, dementia and respite care for up to 44 registered beds. It also supports people with learning disabilities, adults under 65, and people living with mental health needs. The home is set in a quiet, home-like building, with gardens where residents can spend time outdoors, and bedrooms intended to feel familiar and private. Residents are encouraged to take part in decisions about their care, daily routines, meals and activities, and families are kept involved where that is wanted. Meals are freshly cooked and can be adapted to individual, dietary, cultural and religious needs. The activity programme includes bingo, singing, arts and crafts, gardening, sensory and reminiscence sessions, and one-to-one activities.
The Care Quality Commission rated Orchard House Good overall in its 2023 report. It was rated Good for being safe, effective, caring and responsive, and Requires Improvement for being well-led.
