The Main Building - Marion, Norman and Storrington
wings
|
Historical and more modern purpose-built buildings combine to form the nursing home, which is divided into two main areas: The Main Building and Weir House.
The Main Building with its very attractive front and rear gardens, comprises West Lodge, a Grade 2 Listed Building, built in the 18th century linked to buildings purpose-built in 1963 and 1965.
The Main Building has 56 single rooms and 5 -two-bed shared rooms and is divided into 5 "wings" with between 11 and 17 patients accommodated on each wing. Only three of the wings are on the photograph as the others extend "out of shot" behind West Lodge.
In the Conservatory

The spacious Conservatory, overlooking the front gardens, together with the adjacent day/dining room (complete with disabled toilet facilities) is the focal point of the daily activities programme, although full use is made of the gardens during the summer.
As well as the ground floor "day centre" there are further lounge areas on the first floor in the Norman Wing overlooking the front gardens and in the Johanna Wing, with a particularly fine view of the River Thames, while the second floor Storrington Lounge also has a lovely outlook over the front gardens to the river.

The Front Garden

The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and fully furnished. However, residents are most welcome to have as many personal possessions as space will allow and to replace provided furnishings with their own to create a "home from home". With the exception of two single rooms in the Johanna Wing all residents' areas of the Homes are totally accessible for wheelchair users.

Weir House
|
Weir House is an elegant Victorian mansion set in its own large and attractive garden and has over the last few years been substantially redeveloped and has 9 single rooms and 6 double rooms.
Although modernised for the needs of being a nursing home, the character of the building has been retained. This is exemplified by "The Drawing Room", a spacious day room, complete with Bechstein grand piano and other original features such as the staircase, originally imported from Italy, ornate ceilings and marble fireplaces.
