On Wednesday 30 January 2019 a Winter Home Hub was launched for residents in Reigate and Horley. The initiative, which lasts 10 weeks, aims to offer extra support, help and advice to members of the community who may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of winter. This could include the elderly and those who have long term health conditions.
The rehabilitation ward at Caterham Dene is temporarily closed to new admissions due to a number of cases of vomiting. All infection protection controls are in place. We hope to re-open the ward again soon. If you want to visit a patient, please contact the ward first before arriving.
If you have been unwell, please do not visit the hospital until 48 hours after any episode of diarrhoea and vomiting. If you are unsure about visiting, please contact the ward at Caterham Dene before arriving.
