Merlewood Care Home is a gracious retirement living facility situated on 23 acres of grounds in Virginia Water, Surrey, overlooking the Surrey Hills. The care home’s history dates back to 1856 when it was originally built for Thomas Lawrence, a leather merchant based in London. Over the years, the house has had various owners and tenants, including the Count and Countess de Morella, and Sir Thomas and Lady Smith, who hosted many high-profile guests and were part of the social life in Virginia Water.
In 1948, the mansion was conveyed to the Distressed Gentlefolk’s Aid Association set up by Elizabeth Finn, becoming the first home in what would become a portfolio of residential care homes run by Elizabeth Finn Homes. Today, Merlewood Care Home offers 53 en-suite bedrooms providing nursing or personal care to the highest standards. The care home’s elegant features and comfortable surroundings reflect its rich history, while its modern facilities and amenities ensure a warm and welcoming environment for residents.
