Live-In Care in Godalming
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Godalming, which means one trained, DBS-checked carer moves into your relative's home, cooks, gives medication on schedule and sleeps within earshot, so no one has to leave the town they know. All the house must offer is a spare bedroom. Talk to us once and you will quickly see if this is right for the person you worry about.
If a stay at Milford Hospital on Tuesley Lane is coming to an end, the days before discharge can feel very short. Give us the date and we will make sure someone competent is waiting in the house with the heating on and the first meal planned.
After a wet winter the river meadows and the older streets can be hard going for someone who lives alone. Ring 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Godalming: The Pepperpot, the River Wey and Lammas Lands
Think of a seventy-eight year old widower who used to walk down to the river every morning before the paper was delivered, and who now stays in because the pavement outside his house feels uncertain. His live-in carer goes with him along the Lammas Lands water meadows, stopping where the path is level so they can look at the ducks, and then turns up through the gardens beside the Phillips Memorial Cloister to read the inscription to Jack Phillips. He says he remembers when his own father took him there. Back home he rings his sister to tell her where he has been, which he has not done in months.
When someone you love has dropped a habit that once defined them, mention it on your first call and we can start the care plan there. Ring 0208 129 5854 and we will work out together how to bring a daily routine back.
A good afternoon walk sits on top of a very ordinary indoor day, so here is how a live-in carer fills the hours from the morning kettle to the final dose of the day.
A Calm Start
Getting up, washing and breakfast follow your relative's own pace, with the wireless humming if they prefer it. A carer who sleeps in the house has no arrival time to hit, so there is never a rush at the bathroom door.
Streets and Water
The Broadwater Park estate covers about 29 hectares northeast of Farncombe and has been used for cricket since at least 1827, and the leisure centre there opened in 2012. The carer can steer your relative towards a bench or a flat loop, and decide on the day whether the weather suits the park or the quieter route beside the Wey.
Medication and Clinics
Tablets are handed over at the right moment and written down. For a visit to the clinics at Milford Hospital, which include specialist sessions for conditions such as Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis, the carer travels along, takes notes and passes the details on to you.
Meals Worth Sitting Down To
Roast on Sundays, kippers on a Friday, a pie from the freezer when it is miserable out: the carer prepares what your relative truly enjoys and adapts it to any dietary advice. Some mornings the shopping starts at the greengrocer's stall under the arches of the Pepperpot on the High Street.
Talk, Music and Memories
Many afternoons suit a stroll through the Godalming Museum, on the High Street since 1987, or a half hour with a box of old photographs. The carer will not interrupt, and waits patiently for the memory to arrive in its own time.
Quiet Nights
Before bed the carer checks the doors, switches on a low light in the hall and clears the stair of anything a slipper could catch. Should your relative wake disoriented before dawn, the carer is just across the landing.

Why Godalming Families Pick NeeryVille Care
We searched for live in care in Godalming the way a worried son would, then read the pages that came up. One national franchise's Godalming page speaks of the High Street and surrounding villages, but gives no price, no hospital and no council link. A big home care group publishes a weekly rate, yet names no hospital or council anywhere on its Godalming page. A third site lists carers within ten miles with price ranges, and sends you to its own funding guides instead of the council. Here you will find Milford Hospital, Surrey County Council, local dementia support and one daily price on a single page, and the carer you meet works directly for NeeryVille Care. Here is why Godalming families pick us.
Familiar Face, Every Day
After a fortnight the carer knows which cup is the favourite, how the radio is tuned and when a hand needs holding. The person who says goodnight is the same one who said good morning.
Our same-carer approach is built on that routine, and it counts most for people whose dementia has turned strangers into a worry.
Two Weeks to Be Sure
Should the arrangement not feel right, you can stop at any time during the first 14 days with no notice period and no fee.
That is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Godalming family can try it knowing there is a way out.
Carers on Our Payroll
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Every carer is employed, trained and overseen by us, never found through a third party at the last minute. Our registration on the CQC website is there for anyone to read.
Clinically Guided
Placements run within a clinical governance framework developed with experienced clinicians, which keeps standards steady for dementia, Parkinson's disease, recovery from a stroke and similar needs.
At the Door in a Day or Two
Wards can announce a discharge with very little warning. When a relative is about to leave Milford Hospital, we respond quickly, and a suitable carer is usually in the house within 24 to 48 hours, which makes 24 hour care in Godalming a reality by the time the ambulance pulls up. Name the date and we will work out the carer's start from there. Phone before it is fixed and someone can be on the doorstep to meet the transport.
Managed by a Registered Care Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia knowledge, and he is personally accountable for each placement. When you ring you will reach him or a colleague who knows the details.

Dementia Care and Respite Care in Godalming: When the Wey Valley House Falls Quiet
The change tends to arrive after a wet winter. A damp smell in the hall, a heater left on high, post unopened on the mat and a son who notices that the river has risen again.
Take a woman of eighty-four who lives alone in a terrace near the Wey. When the floodwater rose behind her street she did not tell anyone, and she lived for a week in one cold room. Her daughter found out only when a neighbour rang. A fall in the same fortnight put her in a bed at Milford Hospital, and the ward said she should not go home on her own. A live-in carer then moved into the spare bedroom, aired the house, cooked her dinners and made sure the radiators worked, and the cold room became an ordinary home again. Should that sound like your mother or aunt, call us before the next bad week.
In time the carer learns the names behind the photographs on the sideboard and how she likes the curtains drawn.
It may be you who has made the long drive to Godalming every weekend for a year, ticking off the days between visits. Our respite care in Godalming places a live-in carer at your relative's home for a few days, a fortnight or longer, so you can catch up on sleep without worrying. Give us the dates and the rest is ours to organise.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Godalming
Our live-in carers in Godalming support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, in Farncombe, Busbridge, Milford and Catteshall and in the villages of the Wey valley around the town.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
One Home, Two People: Couples in Godalming
Imagine a couple of fifty-five years who still sing in a church choir on Sundays. She lives with early dementia and he has a bad hip, so the three steps at the front door have turned into a barrier. Each is the other's memory and legs, and they want to stay together rather than be sent to separate rooms in a home.
One live-in carer can help both, steadying him on the steps and keeping an eye on her through the day. Ring and we will explain how one carer can look after the pair of them.

Why Godalming Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has spent most of their life in Godalming, live-in care lets the river Wey, the High Street and the neighbours stay part of each week.
The town was already a market centre in 1300, the Godalming Navigation opened in 1764, and Charterhouse School moved here in 1872. A person who has watched all of that go by often cannot picture anywhere else being home.
At home your relative sleeps in their own bed, uses their own cupboards and follows their own routine. One carer lives in and picks up the little habits, so the face at breakfast is the face at bedtime, and a husband and wife can remain together with one carer helping them both.
Stairs and winter damp are real difficulties, and Milford Hospital on Tuesley Lane has 30 beds for rehabilitation. A live-in carer helps with the steps, the shopping and the walks, and after a stay on that ward the same carer can be waiting inside the house.
To talk through what might suit your family, ring us on 0208 129 5854. Ask whatever you want, with no obligation.
What Live-In Care Costs in Godalming: £190 a Day
Most families want the money question settled first, so here is the answer.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Godalming starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
Once your free assessment is done you receive the exact figure in writing, and nothing starts until you have read it.
What the Daily Rate Covers
A normal Thursday in Godalming might include a stroll along the High Street past buildings that date from the 15th and 16th centuries, a cup of tea near the Town Bridge that George Gwilt built in 1782, and an afternoon with a library book. For the daily price you get a carer who lives in and is on hand overnight, help with washing and dressing, meals made from scratch, medication handed over and recorded, a steady arm around the house, company to appointments and help with errands.
A few circumstances, among them dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, are best talked through before we confirm a figure. Describe what is different and we will go through the figures together.
Paying for Care at Home in Godalming
Attendance Allowance is a benefit paid to people over State Pension age who need help with personal care, and it is not means tested, so it is worth checking before anything else. NHS Continuing Healthcare is another route, funded by the NHS where someone's main need is health related.
Surrey County Council's adult social care contact page gives 0300 200 1005, open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. We include it as information, and nobody is expected to begin there.
Age UK Surrey takes enquiries on 01483 503414 between 10am and 4pm on weekdays and lists dementia services on 01483 420668. Its Memory Lane at Home service offers companionship for people with memory problems, and the same charity hosts a memory and friendship group at the Clockhouse Community Centre in Milford on Tuesday afternoons.
Funding applications can run alongside the care itself, so the carer does not wait for the paperwork.

Four Steps to a Carer in Godalming
The first phone call is the hardest part. The rest is straightforward.
01
Make the call
There is nothing to prepare.
Dial 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or one of his colleagues will pick up.
Tell us how things stand and we will explain what is possible, without forms or sales pressure.
We speak to families in your position every week, and very little will come as a surprise.
03
We listen to their story
We ask what Godalming means to your relative. It might be the cloister built in 1913 for Jack Phillips of 11 Farncombe Street, a Saturday under the arches of the Pepperpot, or the pews of the church of St Peter and St Paul where their parents were married. A single memory is often enough to start an afternoon of conversation.
All of it goes into the care plan so the carer arrives knowing what to ask. Call when you feel able.
We choose the right person
We only suggest a carer after weighing experience, health knowledge and personality, since two people sharing a home need to get on.
From then on the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee gives you a fortnight to judge for yourself.
02
04
The carer moves in
Usually the carer arrives a day or two after our first conversation, sooner if a hospital has already fixed the discharge date.
If your relative is coming home from Milford Hospital or another ward, we will arrange for the carer to be inside the house when they arrive.
One named contact at NeeryVille stays with you from the first call until everything has settled.
Ring us today and a carer could be unpacking in the spare bedroom before the weekend. If a ward has given you a discharge date, mention it and we will plan around it.
Our Registered Care Manager carries out the free assessment in person and phones afterwards to ask how the first days went. Live-in care is all we do, so you are never passed on.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
What Godalming Families Ask About Live-In Care
How much does live-in care in Godalming cost?
Live-in care in Godalming costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, with no surprise charges afterwards. After the free assessment you receive the final figure in writing before you decide anything.
How quickly can live-in care start in Godalming?
In most cases a carer can be in the house about two days after your first call, even when you are phoning from a ward corridor. Start by ringing 0208 129 5854.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. People with dementia tend to cope better with one regular carer in familiar rooms than with changing faces. Age UK Surrey's Memory Lane at Home offers companionship locally, and the Alzheimer's Society helpline is 0333 150 3456. Your GP can refer you for a memory assessment.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
That choice belongs to the family. At home a person keeps their own bed, their own street and their own timetable, and a couple do not have to part. We set out the advantages and drawbacks plainly so you can decide.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
If the regular carer is unwell or away, we send a replacement so your relative is never alone in the house.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and you can read the registration on our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Godalming do you cover?
We cover the whole of Godalming: the town centre, Farncombe, Busbridge, Catteshall, Binscombe and Milford, including postcodes GU7 and GU8.
Do you offer respite care in Godalming?
Yes, we provide respite care in Godalming. If you are worn out caring for a parent or partner, a live-in carer can move into their home for a few days or a few weeks.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. If your relative is travelling home from Milford Hospital or another ward, the carer can be inside the house before they walk through the door, with food, warmth and a plan for the first night.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
During the first 14 days you can end the placement whenever it feels wrong, with no notice and no charge.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. Some people qualify for Attendance Allowance or NHS Continuing Healthcare, or for help after Surrey County Council has made an assessment, and Age UK Surrey can point out benefits you may have missed.
Is there a group near Godalming for my mother, who has memory loss?
Age UK Surrey lists a memory and friendship group at the Clockhouse Community Centre on Chapel Lane in Milford, GU8 5EZ, on Tuesdays from 2pm to 3.30pm, for people with memory loss and their carers, free with a suggested donation of £2.50. The number is 01483 970570. Her live-in carer can go along with her.
Can the live-in carer do the shopping on the High Street?
Yes. The Pepperpot, finished in 1814 and Grade II listed since 1947, has an arcaded ground floor where a greengrocer's stall trades twice a week, and the High Street has buildings from the 15th and 16th centuries. The carer picks a time when the pavement is quieter and walks at your relative's speed.
Could my father be taken to see the Jack Phillips memorial?
Yes. Phillips was born at 11 Farncombe Street in 1887 and the Grade II listed cloister in the church grounds dates from 1913, restored in 2012. Next to it sit the Lammas Lands wetland reserve and the memorial gardens, which residents can use all year, so the carer can plan a gentle outing at your father's pace.
