Set in a historic home in the wooded hills in Kenley, Hayes Court is a substantial Victorian villa built in 1870 by William Hall. The house was a private residence until 1939 when it was requisitioned as officers accommodation for RAF Kenley.
For over 50 years since 1965 our family has been providing personalised nursing, residential and rehabilitation care in a relaxed and friendly environment. Highly trained staff provide the best level of care and whilst we recognise there will be personal challenges along the way we are determined to meet them with you with kindness and compassion. We place your happiness at the heart of everything we do.

PALLIATIVE CARE
Steps to success – Delivering and evidencing quality end of life care at Hayes Court.
It is often difficult to know when a person is approaching the last year of their life. Our staff try to identify various clinical triggers that indicate that someone may be entering the last stage of their life. Good assessment of skills are essential to allow us to identify their personal preferences and choices, and monitor the effectiveness of decisions that are made.
Whilst the unexpected can happen, planning care and thinking ahead about what a person may need or want can undoubtedly enhance the quality of their care.
We review our residents regularly and discuss any changes and conditions with our Multidisciplinary team, to allow us to identify needs and respond in a Holistic way.
