Overall Experience

The care my mother receives is absolutely excellent. The staff are superb and retain their senses of humour despite the long hours and demands placed upon them. The activities are varied and mum gets taken to soup lunch in church which is always a highlight. It is a lovely home but the staff make it

what it is - they should be cherished. Thank you to all of them!

Reply from Katie Macey, Activities Coordinator at Barchester Wheatlands Care Home

Overall Experience

There are no words strong enough to express our gratitude and love for The Mount. Mum's room is clean and comfortable; the lounge is a relaxing space to enjoy the varied daily activities (cake decoration today); the gardens are stunning and the food most delicious ( I may have stolen a chip on fish

and chip Friday!)
All staff are cheerful, enthusiastic, caring and compassionate and their respectful care is a joy to see. I know that mum is in the very best hands.

Overall Experience

All the teams very kind and friendly the foods lovely dads put 3 inches on his waist in just 5 months and nearly needs the next size. Its a pretty place and feels more like home rather than being in a home. This weekend was especally fun with the Grand National with large chocolate bars for the winners

and an evening get together for the residents too.

Reply from Coral Edwards, Senior General Manager at Barchester Mount House & Severn View Care Home

Barchester Field House Care Home
from Jane G (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2025

Overall Experience

Mum went in for post op care in Oct 24 and she has Alzheimer's. Field House was highly recommended by a friend of mum's who has made it his permanent home. From the first step in the door I knew it was the place to be. Four months on it has turned out to be such a godsend. For mum she has regained

her physical health, made good friends, got a stable happy safe life with round the clock care from people she respects and likes. She feels the team can't do enough for her and particularly "treat me as normal, even when I do daft things"! My anxiety levels about mum's wellbeing, from when she lived in her own home, have dropped completely and the advice and guidance I've received from the team has been invaluable. They are definitely doing something very right and go the extra mile to make the home caring and fun. They do an incredibly difficult job and mum and I are hugely appreciative.

Reply from Paula Wiggan, Manager at Barchester Field House Care Home

Thank you so much for your review, your mom and yourself always bring a laughter and smiles to the home we enjoy every moment of providing her care.

Overall Experience

First time using a care home for respite - my step-father stayed a week. As he has dementia it was hard to get a reliable opinion from him, but for me it was a positive experience overall, despite an outbreak of suspected norovirus... He was safe, and well catered for by friendly staff.

Reply from Coral Edwards, Senior General Manager at Barchester Mount House & Severn View Care Home

Overall Experience

Mum has been a long-term resident at Hagley Place. They have cared, loved and met her needs as she progressed through all the stages of dementia. Sadly Mum passed away recently and again the staff were wonderful in keeping me informed and caring for her up until her peaceful passing. They have been

supportive of my brother and I, we couldn't have chosen a better place. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Hagley who made Mum as happy and comfortable as possible in her illness.

Review of
Barchester Wheatlands Care Home
from T C (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 February 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It's never an easy decision to place your loved one in a residential care home, there are so many factors to consider. My mother moved in December 2024 (a difficult day for all concerned), she has mixed dementia and my father could no longer cope.
The support we have received from the team at Wheatlands

has been exceptional. The manager and I, have been communicating for at least 18 months, waiting for the right time and availability. She has listened to me every step of the way, which gave me huge confidence in the fact that Wheatlands would be the right 'home' for Mum.
The members of the team that I have met are friendly, kind and compassionate, they treat everyone with a level of respect that you rarely see these days. I for one can't thank them enough.
At last, I can sit back and relax knowing that Mum's needs are being met and that the team will also keep an eye on my father for me as he is a 'regular' visitor.

Reply from Lea-Ann Littler, Senior General Manager at Barchester Wheatlands Care Home

Many thanks for this wonderful review. It is so reassuring to know that you felt supported by the team during this difficult time of choosing a suitable home for your loved one. We thank you for your feedback as it is so important for other families going through a similar experience to see how understanding and supportive we are as a team.

We've been really happy with the care our mother has received at Barchester Ottley House Care Home. The staff are fantastic! All deserve praise (and a pay rise!) Thank you.
Only issue is with a potential urine infection Mum has which seems to be taking a long time to diagnose - GP issue.

Overall Experience

I have absolutely no regrets about handing my mother's care to the dementia care unit at Barchester Ottley House Care Home, Shrewsbury. Both the nursing staff and the care assistants were friendly, approachable and conscientious in the way they looked after my mother. As her condition deteriorated,

they altered their approach and kept the family aware as to why they were making these changes.
At all times, the staff did their utmost to make her last days as comfortable as possible. I could not ask for more.

Reply from Kuda Munyira, General Manager at Barchester Ottley House Care Home

Thank you for the review, we are happy you were pleased with Mum's care while she was with us, it was an honour to care for her, she will be greatly missed by the Ottley House Family.

Overall Experience

Mum lived at Barchester Ottley House Care Home for over three years and I visited her nearly every day. Mum had been fiercely independent but due to the level of care and compassion shown to her, she came to view Ottley as her home and often described herself as "happy", which is amazing bearing in

mind her health was failing. I came to know the nurses and carers and watched them working collaboratively and with good grace and this created a positive atmosphere in the home. The excellent nurses fought for Mum for investigations, pain relief and review because the GPs were sometimes difficult to pin down. Some of them phoned me after their shift to let me know that Mum had settled when I had been worried. If I ever thought there was an issue (and there were very few) the nurses would listen to me and sort it. The respectful attitude shown by the carers preserved her dignity and individualism and there was much humour. They would chat and laugh with her and comfort her when needed.

Overall Experience

My father needed expert help after some years, suffering with Lewy body dementia, and his year spent at Barchester The Mount House & Severn View Care Home was filled with respectful care, good humour and empathy, whilst he became genuinely fond of the characters within the home - the carers were filled

with positivity, kindness and patience.
Our experience, as a family, has been a very positive one, given the sad decline of my beloved father, his ill health. We lost Dad after several days of palliative care in his room. The Mount was brilliant - thank you.
