Forest Care - Caring Since 1981 
Forest Care is a family-owned company providing care since 1981 and we are extremely proud of our award-winning care homes that are “homes” in the truest sense. Our private care homes combine luxury living alongside 24-hour nursing, residential, dementia and respite care for the elderly, in purpose-built environments within beautiful Surrey and Hampshire countryside locations. We thank our local communities for trusting us to care for their loved ones.
Every resident has an individual care plan which is regularly reviewed to ensure that it meets all medical, physical, emotional and social needs. Our all-inclusive fee includes hairdressing, physiotherapy, chiropody, trips out, and many other facilities our homes have to offer, so you can relax knowing one fee covers all the person-centred care you or your loved one will need.
We are delighted to have won the awards of “Top 20 Care Home South East England” in 2024 and 2022, and “Top 20 Small Care Home Group” in 2022 from carehome.co.uk and ‘Nursing Home of the Year‘ for our specialist dementia care home Holly Lodge at the Surrey Care Awards in 2022.
To book your personal viewing at any one of our care homes please call 0333 305 1785.
Our care homes in Frimley, Hartley Wintney, Hook and Basingstoke offer high standards of care comfort, security and support in beautiful surroundings.
Four of our five homes provide 24-hour nursing, residential and respite care, which includes Holly Lodge – our national and regional award-winning specialist dementia care home. Elm Lodge, our brand new care home provides 24-hour residential and respite care. We intentionally hire more staff than the industry average to enable a relaxed environment for our residents where staff can deliver person-centred care. Click here for further information.
We provide a diverse and inclusive activities programme for our residents with an array of joyful, meaningful and person-centred activities which always prioritise wellbeing. The activity teams involve families in care and activity planning for a personal understanding of what really matters to each resident, the things they enjoy, their life histories and their achievements, which helps to create a reassuring and stimulating environment.
We think it is important that you hear from our residents, their families and our great staff. Visit our Reviews pages to listen to their stories and read the wonderful testimonials on the UK’s leading care home comparison site: carehome.co.uk

Forest Care tries to make it a little easier by providing exceptional care and a homely environment that our residents and their loved ones would wish for.
