Nestled within the KT postcode area, our home provides a peaceful setting for residents seeking residential care, dementia care, and respite care in a familiar community. Our location in Addlestone places us within easy reach of local amenities and green spaces, offering a comfortable environment where residents can feel truly at home. The surrounding area of Surrey provides a calm backdrop for daily life, and families visiting loved ones will find the setting both accessible and reassuring. We aim to create a homely atmosphere throughout our home, where residents can enjoy their own space whilst also benefiting from the companionship of others. Specialising in older person care, we understand that each resident brings a lifetime of experiences, preferences, and personality with them. Our approach to residential care focuses on preserving independence wherever possible, whilst offering the right level of support with daily living. From assistance with personal care to help with mobility and medication, our team works thoughtfully to ensure every resident feels respected, valued, and heard. Dementia care is a central part of what we offer, and we recognise the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding for those living with cognitive changes. We strive to create a supportive environment where residents with dementia can feel safe and settled, with routines designed to promote comfort and reduce anxiety. For families, this means peace of mind knowing that a loved one is being cared for with kindness and specialist attention. Our respite care option offers valuable short term support, whether following a hospital stay, during a family holiday, or simply to give regular carers a well earned break. Respite stays at Sheerwater House give guests the chance to enjoy our home and community whilst receiving the same quality of care as our permanent residents. Many families find respite an important way to explore whether longer term care might suit their loved one in the future. Following our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection in June 2025, Sheerwater House received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within this, we are pleased that our home was rated Good in three key areas: how effective our care is, how caring our team is, and how responsive we are to residents' needs. These ratings reflect the genuine warmth and dedication our staff bring to their work every day, and the personalised approach we take to supporting each resident. We fully acknowledge the areas identified for improvement, particularly around safety and how the home is led. We take this feedback seriously and are committed to making meaningful changes that strengthen these areas. Continuous improvement is at the heart of good care, and we welcome open conversations with families about the steps being taken to enhance every aspect of life at Sheerwater House. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the emotions involved in that journey. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Addlestone or the wider Surrey area, we warmly invite you to get in touch.
