About Shannon Court
Shannon Court is a residential care home in Hindhead, Surrey. We support older people and younger adults, including residents living with dementia and adults with a learning disability or who are autistic, and we offer respite stays. Having that mix under one roof means the support has to be genuinely built around individuals rather than around a house routine. We take time to learn how each person communicates, what they can do for themselves, where they would like a hand and what tends to make a day harder, and we write support plans with the person rather than about them. For residents living with dementia, familiarity does most of the work, so we keep staffing steady and the day predictable and we ask relatives for the details of a life that make conversation possible. For autistic residents, predictable routines and attention to sensory needs usually count for more than anything else we do. Respite stays are planned with visits beforehand wherever we can arrange them, so that arriving somewhere is familiar rather than unsettling, and a short stay gets the same thought as a permanent move. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
