What inspectors found

Inspected 2020-03-21

  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    Safe was rated Good at the April 2024 inspection. This indicates inspectors found adequate safeguarding arrangements, medicines management, and staffing levels, without the specific concerns that would lead to a lower rating. The home supports a complex mix of needs including dementia, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities across 48 beds, which places particular demands on safe practice. The published summary does not include specific detail on night staffing numbers, agency use, or falls management.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Not yet rated
    Effective was rated Good at the April 2024 inspection. This covers training, care planning, healthcare access, and nutrition. The home lists dementia as a specialism alongside learning disabilities and mental health conditions, which requires staff to hold a broad range of competencies. A Good rating indicates inspectors were broadly satisfied with training and care planning, though the published summary does not record specific detail on dementia training content, GP access arrangements, or how food quality and dietary needs are managed.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Not yet rated
    Caring was rated Outstanding at the April 2024 inspection. This is the highest rating available and requires inspectors to have found strong, specific evidence of staff treating people with genuine warmth, dignity, and respect. The inspection would have assessed how staff communicate with people living with dementia, whether people's independence is promoted, and whether interactions feel unhurried and person-led. The published summary does not reproduce the specific observations or quotes that led to this rating, but Outstanding in Caring is awarded to a small minority of homes.
    Verified by inspectorResident testimony recorded
  • Is the home responsive?

    Not yet rated
    Responsive was rated Outstanding at the April 2024 inspection. This domain covers activities, individualisation of care, how the home responds to changing needs, and end-of-life planning. Outstanding in Responsive requires inspectors to have found specific evidence of meaningful, tailored engagement going beyond a standard group activity programme. The home serves people with a wide range of needs including dementia and mental health conditions, which makes individualised responsiveness particularly important. The published summary does not reproduce the specific activities or examples inspectors observed.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Not yet rated
    Well-led was rated Outstanding at the April 2024 inspection. The registered manager is Mr Nealsen Veerasawmy, with Ms Rachel Louise Harvey as the nominated individual. Outstanding in Well-led requires inspectors to have found strong, specific evidence of visible leadership, a positive staff culture, effective governance, and a clear commitment to continuous improvement. The home is operated by Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd, a large provider, and the registered manager is named in the published record, suggesting stability at the point of inspection. The published summary does not include specific governance examples.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The team at Jubilee House supports residents with various needs, including dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions and physical disabilities.

All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

82/ 100

DCC Family Score

Jubilee House achieved an Outstanding overall rating at its most recent inspection, with Outstanding awarded specifically for Caring, Responsive, and Well-led domains. The score reflects strong specific evidence in the areas families care about most, particularly staff warmth and compassion, tempered by the absence of detailed written evidence in several practical areas such as food, night staffing, and cleanliness.

Homes in South East typically score 68–82.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Jubilee House in Godalming was rated Outstanding overall at its most recent inspection in April 2024, with Outstanding awarded in three of the five domains: Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. Safe and Effective were both rated Good. This is the highest rating available and places Jubilee House in a small minority of care homes nationally. The home is run by Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd and supports people with a wide range of needs including dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities across 48 beds. The main uncertainty here is that the published inspection summary is brief and does not contain the detailed evidence behind the ratings. You cannot yet read the full report narrative for the April 2024 inspection, which limits what can be confirmed about specifics such as food quality, night staffing ratios, agency use, and the dementia environment. When you visit, ask the manager to show you the actual staffing rota from a recent week, ask what one-to-one activities are available for someone who cannot join a group, and spend time observing how staff interact with people who live with dementia in corridors and communal spaces.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier
