Compassionate Residential & Dementia Care
We provide personalised care in a warm, family-like environment where residents feel valued and respected.
At Sheerwater House, we are proud to offer a warm and welcoming home for the elderly and for those living with dementia. Our care home, located in Addlestone near Woking, Surrey, is privately owned and rated requires improvement by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Families choose us because we combine the very best in professional care with a genuine homely atmosphere, creating a safe and comfortable place where residents feel valued, respected, and supported.
We understand how important the decision is when choosing a care home. That is why we make every effort to ensure our residents are not only cared for but truly feel at home. From our dedicated team of long-standing staff to our freshly cooked meals and open-door approach to management, everything we do is focused on creating a family-like environment.

Our philosophy is simple: to care for each resident as an individual. We understand that everyone has unique needs, preferences, and routines, and we adapt our care to suit them. Whether residents stay with us long term or for short-term respite care, our goal is to help them live life with dignity, independence, and comfort.
We encourage freedom of choice in daily living. Residents can decide when to wake up, when to go to bed, and how they wish to spend their day. We see our role as supporting, not restricting, so that life at Sheerwater House feels as close as possible to life at home.
We are not a large, impersonal institution. Sheerwater House is small enough to feel like a true home. Residents are encouraged to bring personal possessions, photos, and small items of furniture to make their rooms familiar and comforting. The communal spaces, from the cosy lounge to our bright dining room and well-kept garden, are warm and inviting places where residents and visitors can relax together.


We are proud that many of our staff have been with us for years. This consistency is a great comfort to residents and families, as familiar faces provide reassurance and continuity of care. Our staff are chosen not only for their experience but also for their kindness, patience, and dedication.

Our management team believe communication and transparency are essential. Families are always welcome to speak with us, ask questions, and share their thoughts. We see relatives as partners in care, and we are always here to listen and support.


Good food is at the heart of happy living. All our meals are prepared fresh by our in-house chef, with plenty of choice and flexibility. We cater for all dietary needs, including special medical requirements, and offer snacks, fruit, and drinks throughout the day. Residents can choose to dine in the dining room with friends or enjoy meals in their rooms if they prefer. Relatives are welcome to join us for meals and celebrations, making dining a sociable, enjoyable part of life.

Life here is full of opportunities for activity, connection, and joy. We host regular events, from birthday parties to seasonal celebrations, and residents enjoy visits from local schools, voluntary groups, and church dignitaries. The lounge is the hub of the home, where music, books, and games are enjoyed, while the terrace and garden provide relaxing spaces in the fresh air.
Residents are encouraged to pursue hobbies, help with the garden, or simply enjoy a quiet moment. For those who wish to explore further, trips to local shops and cafés are organised, ensuring that community links remain strong.
Every detail has been thought through to create a safe, accessible, and comfortable environment for residents and their visitors.
We recognise that moving into a care home is a big step for residents and their loved ones. That’s why we work closely with families to make the transition as smooth as possible. We provide regular updates through meetings and our private Facebook page, so relatives always feel involved in their loved one’s life.
We also understand the importance of trust. Families place a huge responsibility in our hands, and we are proud of the strong relationships we have built over the years. At Sheerwater House, you can be assured that your loved one is in safe, caring, and capable hands.


Choosing the right care home is one of the most important decisions you can make. We warmly invite you to visit Sheerwater House, meet our team, and experience the homely, welcoming environment that makes us special.
