  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    The home was rated Good for Safety at its March 2024 assessment. This represents an improvement from the previous inspection. The published report text does not include specific detail about staffing ratios, medicines management, infection control, or falls prevention. The home is registered to provide nursing care, which means a qualified nurse should be available on site, but the number of nurses on duty at any given time is not stated in the published text.

    Not yet rated

No specific detail about any of these areas was included in the published inspection text available to us. The home is registered to care for people living with dementia, which means dementia-specific training and care planning approaches should be in place, but this was not described in the published report.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

73/ 100

DCC Family Score

Greathed Manor Nursing Home has been rated Good across all five inspection domains, which is a meaningful improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. However, the published inspection text provided to us contains very limited specific detail, so scores reflect a Good rating with general rather than specific evidence.

Homes in South East typically score 68–82.
DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Greathed Manor Nursing Home, on Ford Manor Road in Lingfield, was assessed in March 2024 and rated Good across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. This is a meaningful improvement from a previous Requires Improvement rating, which suggests the home has addressed earlier concerns and is now operating at a satisfactory standard. The home provides nursing care for up to 40 people, including those living with dementia and those with physical disabilities. The main limitation of this report is that the published inspection text available to us contains very little specific detail about what inspectors actually observed: no resident or relative quotes, no staffing ratios, no activity descriptions, and no mealtime observations. A Good rating is genuinely positive, but it tells you the minimum. Before deciding, visit the home and ask the manager three direct questions: how many permanent staff (not agency) worked on the dementia unit last week, including overnight; how often your parent's care plan would be reviewed and whether you would be invited to contribute; and what the home has changed since the previous Requires Improvement rating.
