Live-in carers in Woking, 24 hours a day
Rather than moving out of Woking, your relative can have a trained Care Professional move in with them. Their house, their garden and their pace of life stay the same.
We arrange care in Surrey from Highview House, our London office in Edgware. Nobody is introduced to a Surrey household until their enhanced DBS check, right-to-work check, references and training are complete. For families in Horsell, Knaphill or West Byfleet, a consultant is on hand around the clock.

Our explainer, live-in care explained, answers the common first questions.
Overnight support, breaks and sleep
A live-in carer is in the home at night but needs to sleep, and they take a break each day. Where your relative is restless or calls out most nights, put that on the table when we visit, and night support can be part of the conversation.
Woking homes and villages
The main urban area runs from Knaphill in the west to Byfleet in the east, while Brookwood, Mayford, Pyrford and Old Woking keep their own identities. Around 60% of the borough is green belt. The town centre also has newer flats, including two residential towers.
On our first visit we note the spare room, the staircase and the shower or bath. Husbands and wives can usually keep living together with a single carer, subject to a separate assessment of each. Read live-in care or a care home? for the comparison.
Surrey County Council and Action for Carers
Adult social care in Woking is run by Surrey County Council. You can start a social care needs assessment with the county online; the NHS explains what a care needs assessment involves.
For a carer's assessment, Surrey's online form is the easiest route. Carers can also register with Action for Carers Surrey and ask it to arrange the assessment.
Woking Community Hospital and St Peter's
Woking Community Hospital is on Heathside Road (GU22 7HS), about 0.4 miles from the station, and has an urgent treatment centre. For hospital stays, St Peter's Hospital on Guildford Road, Chertsey, is run by Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The discharge team can also tell you whether a NHS Continuing Healthcare check is due.
Around Woking
Horsell Common and the Basingstoke Canal towpath both offer space for a gentle outing. Old Woking's St Peter's Church dates partly from the reign of William I. The Wey Navigation, the Basingstoke Canal and the London to Southampton railway were all built through the area between the 1650s and 1850s.
Funding and the cost of live-in care in Woking
Woking prices are agreed only after we have met your relative, with nurse-led packages at a higher rate; read paying for care and what live-in care costs.
