Brief description

Dapplemere is a registered nursing home for 22 people in the older age category. The home is located in a rural setting a short drive away from the Chorleywood railway station and the M25 motorway.
 
The building is a two storey period house to which a modern single storey extension has been added.

The extension provides seven en suite bedrooms and the two storey extension provides six en suite bedrooms. The remaining rooms are not en suite. There is an assisted bathroom and a shower room available nearby.

The home has a passenger lift to all the floors. The original building is constructed on several levels and in some areas there are steps and slopes so residents accommodated in some of the bedrooms need to have a degree of mobility and there is limited space for the use of hoist and wheelchair. The communal rooms, the kitchen and a laundry room are all on the ground floor.

The home has a spacious and attractive garden with patio and there are garden furniture and seating for people to use. The garden is wheelchair accessible.
 
The home charges £650 to £700 per week.

Information about the home and the service it offers is contained in the Statement of Purpose and the Service Users Guide.
