Care Home in Surrey

Warm and welcoming

A modern 92 bed Home, Princess Christian is comprised of three specialist units (Bisley, Pirbright and Knaphill), each with their own separate facilities, lounges and kitchens and all bedrooms have en-suite facilities. We also have an in-house hair salon. Our bright and spacious lounges overlook the courtyard and gardens and provide the perfect setting for relaxing, taking part in activities or simply spending time with family and friends who are welcome to visit at any time.

It’s important for our residents to feel welcome and relaxed and we always encourage residents and families to personalise their rooms by bringing belongings, photos, ornaments and anything that will help create a familiar, home-from-home environment. Our Housekeeping and Maintenance teams are also always on hand to add those all-important special touches.

Surrounded by countryside, our gardens and outdoor seating areas provide a tranquil spot for enjoying some al fresco dining, feeding the chickens or tending to the flowers and vegetables grown by the green-fingered members of our Gardening Club.

We have our very own full time Chartered Physiotherapist; Leo Mathew offers a range of specialised Physiotherapy services which can really benefit a person’s ability to live an active, healthy lifestyle.

Dedicated to great food

We are passionate about food and nutrition and giving our residents a first-class dining experience with beautifully presented, delicious meals that cater for each person’s preferences and needs.

Adrian Silaghi (Head of Catering Services for Nellsar) and the Chefs at Princess Christian understand that nutrition and hydration are key to keeping people well, both physically and mentally. As well as all daily main meals and snacks, our kitchenette area and Hydration Station are open 24-hours a day, offering a choice of hot and cold drinks, snacks and tempting freshly baked cakes.

Family and friends are always welcome to share a meal and glass of wine with their loved one and try our menu for themselves.

Smarter Care

At Princess Christian we embrace leading technology and resources to keep us at the forefront of delivering the very best person-centred care. One of these initiatives is called ‘Nourish’; a digital system with hand-held devices which our Nurses and Carers use for creating accurate care plans and notes, which are live and updated in real time.

Dementia Care technology

We are also delighted to offer a touchscreen programme called ‘interactiveMe’ to all residents at Princess Christian. A recognised Dementia Care tool created by an Occupational Therapist, interactiveMe is an online memory box packed full of photos, music and videos all about your loved one. A wonderful aid for engagement, it creates an amazing talking point, sparks conversation and allows Carers to get to know our residents really well. It also helps families communicate with their loved ones.

A message from the Manager

Hi, I’m Mario Taherian and I’m the General Manager of Princess Christian Care Home in Surrey. Working as a Home Manager for several years I can understand that it can be very difficult choosing the right Care Home for your loved one. If you are looking for a Care Home place in our area, I would recommend you visit us at Princess Christian Care Home before making a decision. You will get to know the quality of our team, our services and see the range of daily activities we provide for our residents, which are tailored to their interests and hobbies. Our goal is to provide a ‘happy home’ for all of our residents, which means making sure everyone feels as independent as possible in a warm, homely environment. At Princess Christian, we recognise each person as an individual with their own unique set of experiences and values.
