About Cherrydale

Cherrydale is a residential care home in Surrey, providing personal care for older people, including those living with dementia. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

Cherrydale, in Surrey, is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal or nursing care for up to 22 older people, including those living with dementia. The CQC assessed the service after concerns were raised about staffing, cleanliness and care of people at risk of pressure damage, and rated it good overall, an improvement from the previous requires improvement rating.

Inspectors found people felt safe, staff were available and responsive, and the home was clean and well maintained. Support for healthcare needs had not always been prompt in the past, with professional guidance not always followed, but the provider and registered manager had plans in place to address this.
