Local knowledge across Woking

Woking is one of Surrey's largest towns, a busy commuter hub on the South Western main line about 25 miles from central London. The town and borough take in a mix of distinctive communities, from Horsell and its famous common to Knaphill, Goldsworth Park, West Byfleet, Byfleet, Sheerwater, St Johns, Old Woking and Brookwood, spread mainly across the GU21, GU22, GU23 and GU24 postcodes. Care needs vary just as much across these neighbourhoods, from the town centre flats near the Shah Jahan Mosque, the first purpose built mosque in Britain, to the quieter residential streets and villages on the edge of the borough, so 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 treatment at Woking Community Hospital on Heathside Road, or after a stay at St Peter's Hospital in nearby Chertsey, both run by Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. 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 Woking is overseen by Surrey County Council, and care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. 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. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
