About Ferndale Nursing Home
Ferndale Nursing Home provides 24-hour nursing care for people aged 65 and over, including specialist dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s care.

Meals are cooked fresh on the premises, with dietary needs accommodated and two choices offered at lunch and supper. Most rooms have en-suite facilities, while a lift serves the first floor.

Questions families ask
How many bedrooms does Ferndale have?
Ferndale has 19 single bedrooms and 3 double bedrooms, most with en-suite facilities and a TV in every room.
Is the food cooked fresh at the home?
Yes. All food is cooked fresh on the premises, and the chef can cater for special dietary needs with a varied, nutritionally balanced menu.
Is the nursing home fully accessible to wheelchair users?
Mostly. All ground-floor areas and the garden are accessible, and a lift reaches the first floor, but five first-floor rooms do not have step-free access.
Is Ferndale accepting new residents?
Yes. They are welcoming new residents and can arrange a tour so families can see the home and meet the staff.
Can residents keep using their own GP?
Yes. Residents can continue using their own GP if they wish. Most long-term residents register with a local Crawley GP surgery, which also visits Ferndale regularly.
How much does Ferndale Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ferndale Nursing Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Sussex council paid on average £1,098 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
