Nursing Care Near Langley Green at Ferndale Nursing Home

Nursing care in Langley Green, what families want to know

There isn't a nursing home based within Langley Green itself, but families here don't need to look far. Ferndale Nursing Home is a 28-bed, family-run home just along the road in Crawley, at 124 Malthouse Road. We provide 24-hour nursing care from a long-standing, qualified nursing and care team, and the home is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission and recommended on CareAssura.

Being close to Langley Green means loved ones can visit often without a long journey, which matters far more once someone has moved in than it can seem beforehand. Families also come to us from Horsham, the Gatwick area and across Mid Sussex, so you'll be joining a well-established local community rather than starting somewhere unfamiliar.

Mum needs nursing care, how do you choose the right home?

It's often a specific moment that makes a family realise mum needs nursing care: a fall, a hospital discharge, or medication becoming too complicated to manage safely at home. At Ferndale, our nursing team can assess what level of support she actually needs, including specialist Dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's care where that applies, so you're not guessing.

If you're not yet sure whether a permanent move is right, a respite stay can be a gentle way to test how mum settles, how she gets on with the team, and whether the home suits her, before any bigger decision is made.

Dad needs nursing care, what does it cost and who pays?

Once it's clear Dad needs nursing care, cost is usually the next worry, and it's a fair one. Fees depend on the level of nursing and care required, so the most accurate answer for your family will come from speaking directly with our team on 01293 520368, who can talk through what's included and answer any questions honestly.  

On our website, we also have several nursing care tools that you can use to see what level of funding is available to help you make a more informed decision.

How much does a nursing home cost per month?

Nursing home costs in the UK vary depending on the person's needs and the area, so there's no single figure that applies to every family. West Sussex County Council can carry out a needs and financial assessment to establish whether any funding support is available, and our team at Ferndale is happy to help you understand how that process works alongside our own fees.

Have a look at our local authority page, and you will find the relevant links to the specific departments where they will be able to help you in more detail.

Will the NHS pay for a nursing home?

In some cases, if someone has significant, ongoing health needs, they may be assessed as eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which can fund some or all of their nursing care. Where that doesn't apply, funding is usually arranged through a local authority means test or privately, and we're glad to point families in the right direction to get that assessment started.
