Investing in services that support adults with care needs

Adult social care in 哔咔漫画 is about supporting people to live well. By maintaining their independence, staying connected to their communities, and getting the right help when it's needed.

We're proud to have been rated 'good' last year by the Care Quality Commission. We are committed to improving further for our residents.

Here are some of the ways we're investing in services that support adults with care needs across 哔咔漫画.

Raising standards in dementia care

We're leading a UK-first initiative to improve dementia care in 哔咔漫画. Specialist Admiral Nurses, supported by Dementia UK, are working directly with care homes. They're helping staff build their skills and feel more confident.

Ten homes have already received training, with 12 more taking part later this year and in 2026. The project, jointly funded with health partners, is helping care homes make faster, more confident placement decisions, meaning more people with dementia are getting the care they need, when they need it. Participating care homes will become beacons of best practice for the rest of 哔咔漫画.

Right Homes, Right Support

Building that offers specialist housing

Our Right Homes, Right Support programme is about creating specialist housing in local communities which helps people live more independently. One strand is building affordable rent extra care housing developments to support older people to stay in their own homes longer, with tailored care on hand as needed. Our first development - 拢28million Meadowcroft Lodge in Guildford - is due to open in 2027. Outline planning permission is already secured for a further seven extra care sites.

Another key strand is our investment in supported independent living housing for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. A state-of-the-art development is now open in Horley. A further two developments are set to open in the coming months in Byfleet and Cobham. With support on hand to build life skills, this type of housing gives people more choice and control in their everyday lives, reducing reliance on traditional residential care.

Supporting those who look after others

An important area of our work is caring for the carers. Carers are the army of people who enable tens of thousands of our residents to get the most out of life despite illness, frailty or disability. In 2025/26, we're investing more than 拢10 million in care and support for carers - on top of the funding allocated for care packages to meet people's assessed needs, which also provide vital support for carers. The investment includes a carer wellbeing break payment, who can spend up to 拢300 on activities or breaks to support their wellbeing.

This year has also seen us develop training to help carers of people living with dementia. which are ongoing at locations across the county.

Creating spaces that feel like home

Outside space of Emily Lodge

Emily Lodge is a new, 拢5.7million short breaks service providing a safe, home-from-home environment where adults with additional needs can receive tailored support while their carers get a break to rest and recharge. Set in landscaped gardens (complete with ground-level trampoline), the purpose-built space in Woking features a sensory room, lounge and eight en suite bedrooms.

Building work is also now underway for a similar short breaks service in Banstead. When that's completed, the two facilities together will provide almost 4,000 more nights of short breaks care in 哔咔漫画 than can currently be offered, enabling 140 more families to benefit.
