Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Guildford

Guildford • Surrey

Trusted care and staffing across Guildford

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers right across Guildford and the wider Surrey area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent in their own home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

Our base is in the South of England rather than in Guildford itself, so we are honest that we do not run a local office on the High Street. What we do have is a genuinely national reach. As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency, we coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Guildford the same way we do everywhere we work, with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Guildford

Guildford is a historic county town in Surrey, set on the River Wey around 30 miles south west of London, with the ruins of Guildford Castle and the landmark Guildford Cathedral looking out over the surrounding hills. It is home to the University of Surrey and a mix of established suburbs and former villages such as Stoughton, Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Shalford, Bellfields, Park Barn and Westborough. Care needs vary just as much across the area, from the town centre and the GU1 and GU2 postcodes to the quieter lanes around Worplesdon and Jacobs Well, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at the Royal Surrey County Hospital on Egerton Road, near Onslow Village, which is run by Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust and also provides community services from Milford and Haslemere hospitals. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in Guildford is overseen by Surrey County Council rather than the borough council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work.
