About Tiltwood
Here at Tiltwood, we provide residential care for older people in the heart of Cobham, Surrey. Our home offers a warm and familiar environment where residents feel genuinely at ease, supported by a team that takes the time to understand each person as an individual rather than simply a list of needs. We support people living with dementia, mental health conditions and physical disabilities, as well as those who may need a shorter period of respite care. Whatever brings someone to us, we approach their care with the same thoughtfulness and consistency. For families, finding the right care home can feel overwhelming, and we try to make that process as straightforward and reassuring as possible from the very first conversation. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good, which reflects the standard we hold ourselves to day in and day out. We are proud of that rating, though we see it as a marker of where we are rather than where we stop. Life at Tiltwood is built around routine, familiarity and genuine connection. Meals, activities and daily rhythms are shaped around what matters to the people who live here, not the other way around. We know that moving into a care home is a significant moment in someone's life, and we do not take that lightly. Cobham is a wonderful community to be part of, and we value our place within it. Families are always welcome, and we encourage people to stay closely involved in the lives of their loved ones. If you would like to find out more about Tiltwood or come and have a look around, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk things through and help you work out whether we might be the right fit.

More about the care at Tiltwood
Respite Care at Tiltwood
Booking a respite stay at Tiltwood is worth arranging well in advance, particularly around school holidays when demand rises. Most homes ask for a minimum stay of one or two weeks and will want medication, comfortable clothing, toiletries and a few familiar items packed. Ask about the minimum booking, current availability and daily rate. A short stay can also serve as a gentle trial before any decision about permanent care.
Dementia Care at Tiltwood
Living well with dementia in a care home usually depends on familiar routines, a calm and secure layout that reduces confusion, and staff who understand how the condition changes over time. Small things such as consistent faces, clear signage and unhurried mealtimes can make a real difference to how settled someone feels. Tiltwood is registered with the CQC to support people living with dementia. When visiting, families should ask how the team responds when a resident becomes distressed or anxious, what steps are taken if someone tries to leave the building, and how care is adjusted as the dementia progresses into later stages. It is also worth asking how life history and personal preferences are captured, and how relatives are kept involved in decisions. Surrey County Council typically funds placements at around £800 to £950 a week.
Residential Care at Tiltwood
Residential care covers help with daily living for people who do not need round the clock nursing input from a registered nurse. That usually means support with personal care, meals cooked on site, laundry, medication and a programme of activities and social contact, all within a home that feels lived in rather than clinical. The key difference from nursing care is that district nurses visit as needed rather than being on staff, so residential suits those whose health needs are stable. Tiltwood in Cobham is registered for residential care with the Care Quality Commission, which rated it Good at its August 2023 inspection. Families should ask what happens if a resident's health declines and whether the home can continue supporting them, or whether a move would eventually be needed. Typical South East fees run from £1,100 to £1,450 a week.
Older Person Care at Tiltwood
Older people moving into a care home in Cobham can expect help with the everyday things that become harder over time, from washing and dressing to prompting or administering medication and simply having someone to talk to over a cup of tea. Companionship matters as much as practical support, and a good home will weave both into the daily rhythm. Tiltwood is registered with the CQC to provide this kind of care for older adults. Families looking round should ask how mornings and evenings are structured, whether residents can rise and retire at their own pace, and how many staff are on duty overnight. It is also worth asking how care plans are reviewed as needs change, and how the home communicates with relatives when something shifts. Weekly fees across the South East typically fall between £1,100 and £1,450.
Mental Health at Tiltwood
Adults with long standing mental health conditions often do best where the day has a predictable shape and staff treat people with quiet respect rather than fuss. Tiltwood is registered to support residents in this category. Ask how the team works alongside community mental health services, what experience staff have with conditions similar to your relative's, and what happens during a crisis or a period of relapse.
Physical Disability at Tiltwood
Accessibility is the starting point for anyone with a physical disability, covering everything from doorway widths and hoists to wet rooms and call systems that enable people to ask for help without waiting. Tiltwood is registered to support adults with physical disabilities. Ask which rooms have level access bathing, what moving and handling equipment is available, and how staff balance hands on personal care with letting people do as much as they can independently.
