About Shammah Healthcare
At Shammah Healthcare, we provide home care support to people living in Guildford and the surrounding areas of Surrey. Our work centres on helping individuals remain in the comfort of their own homes, with the right level of support to live as independently and comfortably as possible. We work with a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with dementia, mental health conditions, learning disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities. Every person who comes to us has a different set of needs, preferences, and routines, and we take time to understand what matters most to each individual before putting any support in place. Care is personal, and we treat it that way. Our team is trained to deliver support that is thoughtful and consistent. We know how much it means to a person and their family to feel confident in who is coming into their home, so we put a great deal of thought into matching carers with the people they support. Building genuine relationships over time is something we genuinely value, and we believe it makes a real difference to the quality of care someone receives day to day. We were pleased to receive a rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the effort our whole team puts in to maintaining high standards. We do not take that for granted, and we continue to look at how we can improve and respond to feedback from the people we support and their families. If you are looking for home care in the Guildford area, whether for yourself or someone you love, we would be happy to have a conversation about what support might look like. We are here to help in whatever way we can.
