Appleby House

Welcome to Appleby House

Our award-winning care home in Epsom, Surrey, has a far-reaching reputation for its innovative approach to older people’s care, including dementia care.

We find out all we can about your loved one’s interests, needs and values so we can match them to a suite in the home where they can be with likeminded people.

Appleby House is a care home like no other. We’re always finding new ways to enhance every day for residents, whether it’s creating our very own ice-cream parlour or adding a barber shop and nail bar to our hair salon. We even have our own art studio and gallery where we display beautiful artworks created by residents.

We are proud to have been internally accredited with the evidence-based, person-centered Care Fit for VIPS.

We are proud to be accredited with the Gold Standards Framework Care Homes Programme. This demonstrates our skill and commitment to delivering high quality, person-centred care to residents at the end of their life.

We pride ourselves on the transparency of our care quality and fee information - ensuring you can trust us to care from that very first step.

What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Appleby Hosue care home.

The staff are so genuine, so sincere, so dedicated! It surprises me every time I visit, and I go a few times each week. It is truly astonishing how committed they are to their job and how loving they are - so respectful to the residents - it’s a really beautiful thing to see and I certainly haven’t seen that in other care homes.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff are exceptional! My relative is so happy, her condition has even improved, which is rare with Alzheimer’s. There is an empashis on autonomy combined with a great deal of sincere respect, affection and kindness for each and every resident. They understand my relative, they pay attention to her moods and they know exactly how to reassure her if she is anxious or upset.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

It’s a lovely place for family and friends to visit. It's full of life in there and there is always something going on… they have lots of activities including music, artsy stuff, quizzes, and the food is amazing.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

My wife's journey has been filled with challenges, but through it all, we have been blessed to have a dedicated team of carers. Their unwavering commitment to providing the highest level of care, has been nothing short of remarkable. Your positive impact extends far beyond the realm of professional caregiving.

Husband of a resident, September 2023

Every single member of staff gives hundred%. They do everything they can for the benefit of the residents. Nothing is too much trouble and I don't have any complaints about the care my mum receives.
