  • Sheerwater House, Addlestone
Sheerwater House is a small privately owned home providing a caring personalised environment for people over 65 years old, those living with dementia and other age related illnesses.

Carers offer a relaxed but professional care experience firstly for the residents themselves but also for their relatives, friends and any visiting professionals.

A varied and specialised menu is always available. The chef works closely with the residents to ensure all their needs are met, including medically specific diets.

There is a lift accessing all floors. The bedrooms vary in style and size. Sheerwater House has an outside, raised patio seating/dining area which leads onto a large garden with further seating.

The local village is West Byfleet, which is conveniently only a short walk away, where an array of local shops can be found as well as an extensive medical centre.

The home is only a stone's throw away from the local canal, other nationally recognised walking trails and areas of outstanding beauty.

Respite care is available but refer to it as a holiday instead. The home has a flexible approach to meet people's care requirements.

My elderly Mother was a resident for 5 years in this small , very personal ,residential Care Home. It was local to us. She was very happy and settled in the home. Staff were so compassionate, obliging, considerate, caring , patient and exemplary at all times. Owner of care home was easily contactable,
as was House Manager, and Mother's main daily Carer. Brilliant interaction between Carers and residents. Visiting was flexible, carers were always accessible to speak to, and I was kept informed of every detail and Mother's health at all times. They were extremely hard working and had genuine vocation with their responsibilities. One particular carer had a wonderful rapport with Mother , who always responded so well to her. Kitchen Staff produced excellent healthy, tasty meals, with plenty variety. Regular visits from local GP surgery also. I am truly grateful to them all, including the Care Home Owner.
Thank you all at Sheerwater House for the happy five years Mother spent with you.

My elderly friend and neighbour who had no family was placed here after her dementia got too bad for her to be at home.
It was lovely to see her in such a caring and friendly environment. When I visited she was truly happy and well looked after. The amount of attention everyone got was incredible.
The staff all seemed to really care.
She has recently passed and seeing two staff members who were particularly great with her at her funeral genuinely upset was heartwarming.
One of the ladies became a great comfort and friend to her which was just lovely. Thank you everyone there for working so hard and for actually caring!

I am very happy with the facility and the staff who I feel are very helpful. I would like to thank the staff for looking after the person who I/they have responsibility for.
I will try and encourage the person to change his clothes more regularly now he has new trousers. I will get him new tops when
I go shopping.

Reply from Sheerwater House, Manager at Sheerwater House

Thank you for your review. He is very independent regarding dressing. We are continuing to encourage him to change his clothes more often. Some new clothes should definitely help.

When I first visited Sheerwater House I was struck by the friendly and caring family feel this home had. Placing a loved one into care is a difficult time for family members and the staff at Sheerwater House gave me the confidence I was doing the right thing and provided me with the assurance that my
mother would be safe and care for. I did not and still don't need to make an appointment to see my mother. I can drop in at any time. This is a mark Sheerwater House, take us as you find us 'a true home from home'.

My husband has been in this care home for 18 months now and he has the best of care. I have nothing but the greatest admiration for all the staff. There is plenty of food and drink available at all times. They also make sure their birthdays are special. When I visit, which is about every 10 days, I
onserve the other residents all cared for with patience and compassion as some of them have extreme dementia. I, for one, am so grateful for their work. I know I couldn't cope.

We placed my mother in this home after investigating several in the area. We think it is the right size and environment as it promotes a community and friendly feel.
The staff can't do enough for the residents and food, entertainment and overall care and management are excellent. Activities are varied
and keep the residents entertained and stimulated. We're absolutely convinced we made the right choice for our mother and are extremely happy with this care home.

From 2011 to now my mother has been cared for in a very homely environment with the utmost dignity and respect. We have never had any cause for concern and any queries or issues are always dealt with in a prompt and professional manner. Being a relatively small home it always seems such a family type
setting.

My friend was transferred to Sheerwater House from hospital after her previous care home refused to have her back stating they couldn't meet her needs.
Since her arrival at Sheerwater House, her appearance, attitude and sense of fun have all improved out of all recognition. She is back to reading,
very chatty, goes out to a club once a week and is always well presented.

My Uncle became unwell and the home tried to keep him residing with them for as long as possible prior to hospital admission, as per my wishes.
When it became clear he was at end of life, the care home ensured he was sent back to them to live out his final days in dignity.
Their professionalism and
compassion to him and the family is to be noted.

My brother was discharged here at short notice from hospital. The staff have taken the time to help him adjust to a new environment and ensured his personal hygiene standards didn't slip.
They ask him questions and wait for him to respond, despite other friends and family being present that would
answer for him.

A very welcoming, friendly, caring and happy home. My mum has been at Sheerwater House for just over two years. I was very apprehensive about her going into a care home as I was unable to care for her any longer. Within a few weeks of her being there, I felt very sure that I had done the right thing.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.286)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.286) out of 10 for Sheerwater House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.911 for Sheerwater House is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 45 Ratings = 4.911

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sheerwater House is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 4 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
