About Maple Cottage
We at Maple Cottage are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in the heart of Woking, Surrey, where compassionate support meets everyday comfort. Our home provides thoughtful residential care for older people, adults living with learning disabilities or autism, and those seeking respite, all within a nurturing community setting. Nestled in the leafy surroundings of Woking, our home enjoys the gentle pace and friendly atmosphere that this well loved Surrey town is known for. With easy access to local amenities and green spaces typical of the GU postcode area, Maple Cottage offers a homely environment where residents can feel truly settled. The South East location means loved ones can visit with ease, whether they are travelling from nearby villages or further afield, making it simple for families to remain closely involved in the lives of those they cherish. Our approach to older person care is rooted in dignity and respect. We recognise that every resident carries a lifetime of memories, preferences, and personality, and we take the time to understand each individual so that daily life feels familiar and reassuring. From assistance with personal care to companionship throughout the day, our team is here to support residents in living as independently and comfortably as possible. For adults with learning disabilities or autism, we provide a considered, person centred approach that celebrates individuality. We work closely with residents and their families to build routines, communication styles, and activities that suit each person's unique needs. Our aim is to create an environment where residents feel understood, safe, and encouraged to flourish in their own way, whether that means pursuing hobbies, developing new skills, or simply enjoying quiet moments in familiar surroundings. Respite care at Maple Cottage offers families a trusted place to turn when they need a short break from caring responsibilities, or when a loved one requires a period of support following illness or hospital stay. Whether the stay is a few days or several weeks, we treat every guest with the same warmth and attention that our permanent residents receive, ensuring peace of mind for families during what can often be a stressful time. We are immensely proud that our home has been awarded an Outstanding overall rating by the Care Quality Commission following our most recent inspection in April 2023. In particular, we achieved Outstanding ratings in both the Responsive and Well led domains, reflecting our commitment to tailoring care around each resident and to leadership that puts people first. Our Good ratings across the Safe, Effective, and Caring domains further demonstrate the consistent standards we uphold every single day. For families, this recognition offers reassurance that their loved one will be supported by a team dedicated to excellence, thoughtful management, and genuinely responsive care. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring options for a parent, relative, or someone you love, we warmly invite you to get in touch with Maple Cottage. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about our approach, and help you feel confident about the next step. Whatever your circumstances, you will find a caring welcome waiting here in Woking.
