About

Mill Court Care Home is a newly built, purpose-built home in Shalford, near Guildford in Surrey, with 60 registered beds. It provides residential, dementia and respite care, and its design aims to feel domestic while remaining secure. Its dementia area, called Memory Lane, has interiors, colours and bedrooms planned to support people living with dementia. The home is operated by Barchester Healthcare.

Residents have access to a café with outdoor seating, dining rooms that open onto the garden, a cinema, and a spa bathroom on each floor. Meals are prepared on site by the home's own chefs, who cater for special dietary needs where required. A daily programme of activities, both virtual and in person, is available for residents to join as they choose. The Care Quality Commission currently rates the home Requires Improvement overall, with the same grade for each of its five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
