Doctor Talking To Senior female Patient In Wheelchair

Community Hospitals in Surrey Downs

We provide 24-hour nursing care for people needing rehabilitation. The aim is to help patients return to living independently, or with care or other support.

Care can include rehabilitation, such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy, as well as nursing care, such as pain control, wound care and continence assessment. Each hospital has close links with other services, such as social care and District Nursing teams, to ensure that care continues after discharge.

We also provide care for people at the end of their lives, allowing patients to be cared for in their local community hospital, if that is where they choose to be.

All of our hospital wards provide single sex accommodation, including separate bathroom and toilet facilities for our male and female patients. At the Mary Seacole Unit we also provide four specialist beds for patients with neurological conditions, including stroke.
