Pinehurst is a warm and friendly residential home in the leafy village of Crowthorne, Berkshire, a short walk from the high street. The home is made up of three houses with 47 en suite bedrooms, set in landscaped gardens, with bright lounges, quiet corners for reading and a dining room that looks out over the grounds. Inside, our communal areas have been refreshed in a style inspired by hygge, the Danish idea of cosiness and contentment found in simple comforts and good company.
Our care team is on hand 24 hours a day, happy to help with a smile and a cheery word, from company and conversation to support with daily routines. We offer residential care, dementia care and respite stays for people aged 65 and over, and each resident chooses how they spend their day.
Pinehurst is very much part of village life. Our residents take part in community events in Crowthorne through the year, and the home has close ties with the people and places around it. Every resident is treated as an individual, and the team and residents together create a family atmosphere where everyone feels at home. We look forward to welcoming you to Pinehurst.
Pinehurst provides residential care and residential dementia care, for long-term and respite stays. Team members are on hand day and night to help with personal care and everyday routines, while supporting each resident to stay as independent as they can. Every resident has a personal care plan, written with them and their family and reviewed as their needs change. The local GP and district nurse visit regularly, along with a chiropodist, optician and other visiting professionals.
For residents living with dementia, familiar things matter. We keep to the routines people know, and encourage everyone to bring photographs, keepsakes and their own furnishings, so their room feels like theirs. Residents and families get to know the same faces, and the team gets to know them.
Beyond the bedrooms, there are bright lounges for a film, sport or visiting entertainers, quiet reading rooms, and gardens that residents use to the full. Our activities team plans a varied programme each week, from art, crafts and quizzes to live music and gentle exercise, and residents decide how much or how little they take part in.
There are regular day trips with Myley, a tour company that runs accessible outings for people of all ages and abilities, along with visits to the garden centre and the shops in the village, and residents are a familiar sight at community events in Crowthorne. In summer, the gardens are used for barbecues and garden parties, which family and friends are welcome to join. Family and friends are welcome any time.
Mealtimes are an important part of the day at Pinehurst. We work with apetito, a leading provider of meals for care homes, whose recipes are developed by chefs, dietitians and nutritionists. Menus are developed with our residents, and we cater for texture-modified, diabetic and other dietary needs. The dining room looks out over the grounds, and in summer we often eat outside in the garden.

The home has a real 'family feel' about it and every member of staff I have met show care with and compassion and with good humour.
Every day my Dad is cheerful, happy and enjoying the various activities that are organised, from chats, exotic animals visiting and days out, to Zumba, Pilates and singing.
I call in frequently and have found the staff consistently warm, friendly and welcoming. All residents are treated with care, encouraged to take part in activities.
The staff at Pinehurst are outstanding and mum is clearly happy, settled and well looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend the home.
Moving into a care home is a big step, and we take it at your pace. Before anyone moves in, we meet them and their family to understand their needs, routines and preferences, and use this to put a personal care plan in place.
People come to us in different ways: some directly, some through a hospital discharge team or social services, and some after a short respite stay. Whichever route, we talk through funding and the options openly, and our Advice Centre explains how care funding works.
We encourage residents and families to visit first, to look around the rooms and gardens, meet the team and ask anything they like.
Rooms aren’t always available at short notice, so it’s worth getting in touch early if you think you may need one. Call the team at Pinehurst and we can talk you through availability and arrange a tour.
While Pinehurst Care Centre residents are aged over 65, we recognise that engagement, socialisation, fun and enjoyment are essential parts of life at any age, and we work diligently to acknowledge preferences, support a routine and introduce activities and pastimes that add value and enjoyment.
Current popular activities and events that feature in our calendar include:
We arrange monthly church services and actively encourage residents to let us know what they would like to do, whether relaxing and watching a TV show or visiting the local village shops for a little retail therapy.
A combination of physical and mental stimulation is important, keeping our residents active and engaged, and we love to organise al fresco dining in our beautiful gardens during the summer weather, which our residents look forward to.
Every activity or event is entirely optional, and where some residents prefer a quieter environment, we respect these choices and always listen attentively to each individual to ensure they are comfortable, happy and relaxed.
Many relish the opportunity to learn new talents such as flower arranging, enjoy the excitement of live music and performers, or show off their knowledge and expertise through quiz nights, which bring the Pinehurst community together and ensure everybody has something to join in with.
Our outstanding care services are adapted to each resident, including 24-hour care, GP cover, and capable support with emergency admissions and postoperative care to support a swift, safe recovery and crisis interventions.
We also provide empathetic continuing and end-of-life care, with a full team of visiting therapists alongside our in-house colleagues, including a district nurse, chiropodist, optician and occupational therapist.
As a residential care home, we can provide an array of specialist services, with a comprehensive screening process to ensure every Pinehurst team member has the character, kindness and aptitudes to deliver person-first care to our high standards.
Pinehurst Care Centre provides a full range of services, including:
Alongside our experienced care staff, we also provide fantastic facilities and amenities, from a visiting hairdresser to our inviting dining room with views over the grounds, social and bright lounges, and quieter TV areas.
Residents can choose to take in the fresh air throughout our well-maintained gardens, relax with a favourite book in our reading nooks, indulge in pampering beauty treatments, and invite their loved ones for regular visits, with plenty of on-site parking for every guest.
