Woking Homes

My sister, who is blind, deaf and has various other ailments has been a resident for 2 years. In that time her general health has improved immeasurably. The staff are kind and caring. The food is excellent and cooked on the premises with meat supplied by a local butcher and fruit and veg by a local supplier. Although my sister can't participate, the home arranges various activities for residents and hold coffee mornings and parties throughout the year. They provide transport for doctor appointments (and hospital). My sister has flourished since becoming a resident and her laughter is infectious.

My mother was a happy resident of Woking homes since January2015. It was her chosen Home once managing in her own home became too difficult. Her room was spacious and comfortable with a good garden view, her bathroom was large, furnished with a good shower space that a disabled person could use and extremely clean at all times.
The communal rooms are light and bright as are the corridors. The dining room is a smart and light space with good food prepared to a high standard.
The Care staff have good training in looking after the needs of Residents, they are extremely aware too of the needs of visiting relatives, as are the Office Staff and Medical Teams. The Activities are well planned and are varied. Each resident receives a weekly programme posted through their front door letterbox.

There is guest accommodation, a swimming pool and a Bar occasionally.
Sadly my mother died in November, End of Life Care was provided which was comforting after a stay in hospital.

Thank You All

As a former Chairman of Age Uk in the borough of Waverley, and a former Community Council Health Council member, I have had occasion to visit many nursing homes over the past 20 years. I have never found a more perfect example of how older people should be cared for than at Woking Homes. It is a beacon for elderly care. The staff from top to bottom work tirelessly in the interest of their clients. However, I do worry about the inadequate level of local authority funding in the future.

My 93-year-old godfather went to Woking Care Home at the beginning of January 2017 initially for respite care but since decided to stay as a permanent resident. Throughout his short stay so far he has been given the very best care that we could have wished for. Every single member of staff both administrative staff, as well as care staff, has been unfailingly courteous and kind. The food is incredibly good and all homemade including the bread and hot cross buns!

The care staff are highly attuned to residents' medical needs and have been excellent at identifying any signs that may require medical intervention.

The home itself is spotlessly clean, light and airy. The bedrooms are spacious and there is scope for residents to bring some items of their furniture with them.

The overall feeling of the home is one of being in a restful family environment. We are so relieved to think that my godfather is in a place of safety and where he is cared for with dignity and compassion.

I found the home's staff very helpful when looking a home for my mother. They offer many activities for the residents, both physically, to help keep them mobile and mental to stimulate thought.
The staff are helpful and offer a high degree of respect and care for their residents. The rooms are spacious, with ensuite facilities, all well furnished and are kept clean at all times.
I would have no reservations in recommending this home to friends for their loved ones.
