Overview of Merlewood Care Home – Elizabeth Finn Homes LTD
Merlewood Care Home is a gracious retirement living facility situated on 23 acres of grounds in Virginia Water, Surrey, overlooking the Surrey Hills.

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.
