Chippings

Chippings over the years

Registered in December 2022, it has 3 years on the CQC register.

So far CQC has published one overall rating: Good, in June 2022.

4 years have passed since the last overall rating. Services judged lower-risk wait longer for a visit, but teams change, so check what is different today.

Note that a different provider ran the service when it was rated; the current one has not been inspected here so far.

Likely fees

We estimate Chippings at £1,400–£1,710 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £73k–£89k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

With savings below £23,250, Surrey Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.
