About Greys Residential Home
Greys Residential Home offers residential care to older people in Woking, Surrey. We are a home in the ordinary sense of the word, and our aim is that people who move in feel settled rather than processed. The help people need from us is mostly practical: getting up and dressed, a bath or a shower, moving about safely, medication given properly and on time, and meals worth looking forward to, with somebody nearby through the night. Alongside permanent places we offer respite stays, which can help a family carer take a holiday or recover from illness, and which sometimes help somebody decide whether residential care is right for them before making a permanent move. Days here run at a gentle pace. There is breakfast when people are ready for it, food cooked on the premises, newspapers, cards, music, visits from the hairdresser and trips out when the weather allows. Nobody is obliged to join in with anything. We have found that the residents who settle best are the ones who keep hold of their own habits, so we ask about those habits early and work around them. Families visit as often as they like and are welcome at mealtimes. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a move for yourself or a relative, please ring and arrange to come and look round.
