Esher
Larger houses, and what that changes.
A lot of the homes we visit around Esher, Cobham and Oxshott are larger properties, often with stairs that matter and a bedroom on the wrong floor. That affects the practical side of a care plan more than people expect, and it is one of the things we look at during the free assessment rather than afterwards.

We cover the whole of Surrey. Around Esher that usually means these places, and the villages between them.
If the address you are asking about is not on this list, it is still worth telephoning. We cover Surrey as a county and arrange care well beyond the places named here.

Home care in Esher, answered.
This comes up constantly around Esher and Cobham. Sometimes the answer is a stairlift, sometimes it is moving the bedroom downstairs and setting the room up properly, and sometimes it is live-in care. We look at the house itself during the free assessment, because the building shapes the care plan as much as the diagnosis does.
Yes, along with Hinchley Wood, Long Ditton, Cobham and Oxshott. Elmbridge is a compact borough and our carers cover it comfortably.
Often, once you compare like with like. Live-in care starts at £245 per full 24 hours, which is £1,715 a week for one person, and a couple can share one carer. Our page on the alternative to a care home sets out the comparison properly.
Surrey County Council carries out both the needs assessment and the financial assessment. We can help you prepare for either.
That is what we aim for, and it is why we match carers by area. You meet your carer before care starts.
