Our Philosophy: Caring, Honest, Open and Respectful
Since opening in 1986, David Gresham House (North Downs Society) has been one of Surrey’s leading providers of residential, respite and day care. We are proud to be part of the Abbeyfield Society and adhere to their core values. Our Care Home is run by a highly professional team, supported by over 70 volunteers with an Executive Board in place to oversee operations.
David Gresham House
Set in its own attractive landscaped grounds and within walking distance of local shops and train station, David Gresham House offers a relaxed but secure homely environment. We provide the appropriate individually assessed levels of care essential to uphold the privacy, independence and dignity of every one of our Residents.
We offer a daily programme of activities, both within David Gresham House and outside.
Residents are encouraged to take part in these to help maintain mental alertness, self-esteem and social interaction with others.
Our Registered Statement
The Society aims to provide its Residents with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which their 24 hour per day care, well-being and comfort are of prime importance.
It is the Society’s aim that its Residents should live as full and active life as their health will allow, enjoying the respect of those who support them, with their dignity preserved and their privacy ensured. It is our belief that Residents living in an elderly care setting have the same rights as any other individual member of society. Living in an Abbeyfield home should afford feelings of safety, security and companionship, without losing the right of individual freedom.
