Homemead specialises in dementia care, offering a comfortable and stress-free environment that is ideal for those living with the effects of memory loss, while being warm and welcoming towards visiting loved ones.
The focus is on an ‘Out Not In’ approach that looks holistically at both mind and body acknowledging that engagement with society and nature is key to experiencing life. It uses everyday events to stimulate and maintain cognitive function and uses retained conditioned behaviour as a tool to encourage engagement and reduce anxiety.
This converted Edwardian house is equipped for modern care practice, getting the best out of the skilled team who maintain the service with the long-term well-being of residents in mind. They have a variety of technology solutions that enrich their care offering. This pioneering use of technology saw Homemead named as a finalist in the 2022 Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards, while their ongoing excellence in supporting those living with dementia saw them receive the Dignity Award from Richmond Social Services.
Occupants have an active and interesting lifestyle supported, with a summer house, secure garden and Internet access being some of the additional features to enjoy.

We have been so grateful to the lovely staff at Homemead for their excellent care of mum in a period of respite to hopefully permanent care. She came in from A&E a mess and is now warm, safe and back on her feet. We do hope she remains with these rather amazing people who have given her back her dignity at her advanced age in life.

My mother has been at Homemead for the last 4 years and has always been very well looked after. It is a lovely place very welcoming and the staff are extremely caring. I could not have hoped for a nicer place having seen around 15 care homes before this I knew I had made the right choice for my mum.

Homemead is a very high standard caring home. The staff and management are first class. It is always very clean. We are always welcomed with tea, coffee and biscuits when we arrive, which is most welcome as we have a 2-hour journey. My husband and I are at complete ease knowing his brother is so well looked after we cannot thank them enough for their kindness and patience they have with him.
Excellent care by all care staff supporting my father from care managers to all staff. Always informed about his care and any problems. In the hot weather, the little extras such as lollypops have been great. Well done Homemead.

Find that the home is very good, very caring and very helpful, very friendly staff. Lovely rooms for residents and food very good and there is plenty on for the residents to join in, and sometimes during warm weather, days out which they enjoy.

I have known this care home for many years because my mother was resident there. Now I am a volunteer visitor, providing musical entertainment every week. I do not visit the residents' rooms at present because my work is confined to the ground floor. I am familiar with those residents who are in / or visit the main lounge. My impression is that the new residents settle in quickly, and the residents generally are treated with care and respect. The furniture and surroundings are attractive. There are always carers in the main lounge, and they respond quickly to individual needs. The carers are well supervised.

I have worked in care all of my adult working life, progressing to a Team Leader position and then Deputy Manager.
I initially joined Homemead as an interim Deputy Manager in June 2024, covering maternity leave and was sad when it was time to leave; however, the opportunity arose in April 2026 to return as the permanent Deputy Manager, and I have been so happy to be back!
I’m passionate about person-centred care and fulfilling resident days with meaningful activities.
