About Dimensions 1 Ridgewood Drive
We at Dimensions 1 Ridgewood Drive are proud to offer a welcoming residential care home in Camberley, providing specialist support for adults with learning disabilities and autism. Nestled within a quiet residential corner of Surrey, our home has been thoughtfully designed to feel like a true place of belonging. Our setting in the GU postcode area of Camberley offers the best of both worlds: the peaceful, leafy surroundings that the South East is known for, alongside convenient access to local amenities, community spaces, and transport links. The home itself provides a comfortable, homely environment where every resident has the space to relax, pursue their interests, and feel genuinely at ease. We believe that a calm, familiar setting is the foundation upon which meaningful lives are built, and we have shaped our home to reflect that principle. At the heart of what we do is person centred residential care for adults living with learning disabilities and autism. We understand that no two people are alike, and our approach is built around recognising and celebrating each individual. For our residents, this means support that adapts to their preferences, routines, and aspirations, whether that involves participating in community activities, developing daily living skills, exploring hobbies, or simply enjoying quiet companionship. For families, it means the reassurance of knowing that their loved one is being supported by a team committed to dignity, respect, and patience. Communication, sensory needs, and personal goals all sit at the centre of how we plan and deliver care, ensuring that every resident has a voice in shaping their own day. We are pleased that the Care Quality Commission has rated us Good overall, with Good ratings across all five key areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This consistent rating reflects the dedication of our team and the standards we uphold every single day. It tells families that the care provided here is safe, the outcomes are positive, our staff are genuinely compassionate, the support is tailored to individual needs, and the leadership of our home is steady and accountable. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we appreciate the trust placed in us. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Camberley or the wider Surrey area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and find out whether our home could be the right next chapter. We are here to listen, to reassure, and to walk alongside you in this journey.
