About Combe House
We at Combe House are proud to offer a welcoming residential care home in the heart of Woking, Surrey, where personalised support for adults with learning disabilities, autism and physical disabilities sits at the centre of everything we do. Nestled within the leafy surroundings of the GU postcode area, our home enjoys the calm and community feel that Woking is known for. The setting offers residents a comfortable base with easy access to local amenities, green spaces and the wider South East, making visits from family and friends straightforward and stress free. Our specialisms include residential care, learning disability and autism support, physical disability care, support for younger adults, and respite care. In practice, this means we take time to understand each resident as an individual, shaping daily routines, activities and support around their preferences, abilities and aspirations. For those living with a learning disability or autism, we focus on consistency, clear communication and creating an environment where residents feel understood and empowered. For residents with physical disabilities, we work to promote independence whilst ensuring the right level of assistance is always close at hand. Younger adults benefit from support that recognises their stage of life, encouraging social connection, skill building and meaningful daily engagement. We also offer respite care, giving families a trusted place to turn when they need a short break, whether that is planned in advance or arranged during a period of change. Families can take comfort knowing their loved one is receiving warm, attentive care in a familiar and welcoming setting. Following our most recent CQC inspection in March 2024, Combe House was rated Good overall, with Good ratings across all five key areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well led. This independent recognition reflects the everyday commitment of our team to delivering safe, compassionate and thoughtful care, and to running a home where residents genuinely feel at ease. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring options in Woking or the wider Surrey area for a loved one, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions and arrange a visit. We would be honoured to show you around Combe House and talk through how we can support your family.
