We offer a friendly residential home together with a day club for older people in the local area.

Whitebourne is a modern, purpose-designed care home set in a quiet residential area of Frimley in Surrey. We provide residential, respite and end of life care for older people, including individuals with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.


There's a very positive, friendly and fun atmosphere at Whitebourne. We have a strong focus on activities and we cater for each individual's personal interests with lots of one-to-one activities. We also encourage residents to get out and about by taking walks every day.


Residents get involved in the home's daily life, including the decisions we make about what the home and gardens look like. When we redecorated, residents worked with an interior designer and a professional decorator to choose the colours they wanted. And when we did the garden, residents chose the plants they liked.


Our day club has its own facilities and activities programme, but day guests are also welcome to take part in activities at the home - and residents can spend time at the day club and join in with things there too.
