About

Nestled in the heart of Guildford, Puttenham Hill House is a distinguished care home that provides a range of services including residential, nursing, and specialised care for Parkinson's Disease, as well as short-term stays for respite and recovery. This Bupa care home, once a grand residence from the 1920s, has been thoughtfully transformed to include several communal lounges and a dynamic activities room.

The picturesque garden serves as a peaceful sanctuary, perfect for enjoying a quiet cup of tea. A unique feature of Puttenham Hill House is its dedicated duck enclosure, where residents can delight in feeding the adorable residents.

The care home also boasts an on-site salon, offering residents the chance to indulge in a little pampering. A variety of indoor and outdoor activities, including themed days and a cinema club, are regularly organised, fostering a lively and inclusive community atmosphere.
