  • Surrey Heights, Godalming
Situated in the quiet village of Wormley and overlooking acres of natural beauty, Surrey Heights is a privately owned care home that offers residential care for 39 older people living with dementia.

Located next to the famous King Edward's school, Surrey Heights is a large, detached 19th-century Victorian building set in acres of mature south-facing grounds. It was also the former country house of famed novelist and poet, George Eliot, and retains its original blue plaque. Its original features include a blue wedgewood ceiling in the main lounge, and a billiards room with distinctive wall panelling.

Care is always delivered with respect, dignity and kindness, and is primarily focused on specialist dementia care (organic and induced). Secondary focus is on respite, residential dementia and nursing care.

Acquired by CHD Living in 1989, the home is one of a number of others run by the group in picturesque Surrey. Surrey Heights provides high-quality service in a friendly environment, so that all residents can live their lives, their way.

Residents at Surrey Heights enjoy a range of individually tailored activities and outings, and have a choice of spaces in which to relax - including comfortable lounges, a library and conservatory. Residents can enjoy a pamper, too, with access to the on-site hairdressing and nail salon.

With a choice of comfortable, single rooms and easy access to the internet, residents can enjoy a private, cosy space in which to connect with loved ones.

To support and enhance the dementia care provided, planning is currently in place to modernise and develop a dementia care village.

Above all, the skilled, dedicated carers at Surrey Heights are passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred care in a friendly environment.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.904) out of 10 for Surrey Heights is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.535 for Surrey Heights is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.535

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.369 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Surrey Heights is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.769

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
