About Albury Care
Albury Care provides care in people's own homes in Guildford and across Surrey. We support older people, adults living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, and people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. Most people who contact us want to stay where they are, and with the right support that is usually possible for a good deal longer than families expect. For one person that means a short morning call to help with washing, dressing and medication so the rest of the day is their own. For another it means several visits taking in personal care, meals, prompting and a bit of company. We agree what is actually wanted with the person rather than handing over a standard package, and we review arrangements honestly when things change. If somebody needs more from us we will say so, and if what we provide is no longer keeping them safe at home we will raise that too rather than let it drift. For people living with sight or hearing loss, small practical things decide whether somebody stays independent, and our carers are asked to pay attention to them. Continuity is what we plan our rotas around, because personal care is far easier to accept from a familiar face. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch with any questions.
