Heathfield (Horsham) Ltd was established as an exempt Charitable Trust, in 1953 by three local Horsham Residents, Elspeth Polly, Arnold Page, and Joyce Knight. The house at 88 Hurst Road, was purchased in 1955 and opened for business in October 1956. The home was extended over the years to provide accommodation for up to 35 Residents including 2 rooms for respite care. 

Heathfield (Horsham) Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation  established in 1953 by three Horsham residents and opened its doors in 1956 to provide homes for the elderly. The Home is managed by a dedicated team of Volunteer Trustees and a Senior Management Team, who convene monthly as a committee to ensure the highest standards of care are provided. The day-to-day operations of the home are overseen by our General Manager, Care Manager, and Administration Manager, who work collaboratively to create a nurturing environment, a real home from home.
