Netherwood Residential Care Home

from Mark S (Son of Resident) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident for 18months. Overall care and facilities are excellent. Care is very much personalised to each resident's needs. The staff are long term employees - you always see familiar faces. The management team responded quickly and flexibly to a recent request to host an online mental
capacity assessment in relation to selling Mum's former home. They accommodated the request at very short notice while remaining professional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Netherwood management were very quick to respond to an urgent need in accommodating my Aunt when hospital wanted a quick discharge.
All my Aunts needs were assessed quickly and her transfer to the care home facilitated
efficiently and also helpful to the family to ensure this stressful process was
conducted professionally.
The staff have been brilliant in helping my aunt to get used to her new surroundings which is crucial in helping her to settle.
Early days I know but we are comforted that she is in a safe, warm, comfortable place being looked after and cared for.
The staff and management are very friendly and a seemingly nothing is too much trouble attitude.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Netherwood is clean throughout and the rooms are spacious and welcoming. All the staff are pleasant and helpful and keep you fully informed and many of the staff go the extra mile. The quality of care is first class and the residents are treated excellently and cannot speak highly enough of the care
home in general. There are always different activities and entertainment to keep residents who want to partake occupied and happy.
I can't thank all the staff enough for looking after my father-in-law and the care and respect he was given in his final days.

Princess Lodge have been caring for my Mom for almost three years, in which time she has received excellent care. The staff treat the residents like family and go above and beyond to make them feel at home. Since December, my Dad has become a resident thanks to the staff helping to facilitate a transfer
from a different care home. He has been made to feel welcome and safe. We chose this home because of the positive experience we previously received with my Mom.

Mum has been at Netherwood since June and she has settled in well. Physically her mobility has improved massively and she has gained confidence walking with her frame. She eats really well and loves a cooked breakfast. The staff are all hardworking and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
It's a huge comfort to us knowing Mum is safe especially as we live in Berkshire.

Nethermoor House

from Wendy J (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Nethermoor really does have a homely feel. The building is old, probably listed, and so the facilities aren't very modern, but the staff do their best to brighten the place up with decorations for every season.


Before she arrived, Mum was in a newly built care home for respite care; it was huge,

and she was like a fish out of water. When she moved to Nethermoor, all the staff were so friendly and caring. They understood she needed to be involved and made sure she had plenty to keep her occupied. After 18 months, Mum is part of the furniture. She has friends, and all the care staff know her by name. There are regular activities, crafts, games and live entertainment. There's also a lovely summer fete for staff, residents and everyone's families.


The garden is amazing, but sadly, most residents can't make use of it due to access issues. Some sort of path or patio would be fabulous. Trips out are very rare.

Reply from Katy Ford, Home Manager at Nethermoor HouseThank you so much for taking the time to share your review. We're delighted to hear that Nethermoor House feels like home for your mum and that she has settled in so well. Your kind words about our staff and community events mean a great deal to us, and we're very grateful for your feedback. We also recognise your comments about trips out and appreciate you raising this with us. Feedback like yours is invaluable in helping us reflect and improve, and we're grateful that you took the time to share it.

The care given to our dad was outstanding throughout his time at Nethermoor House. Every single member of staff treated him with kindness, respect and humility. They got to know him so well and he was well looked after and enjoyed the activities that were organised. We received regular updates about
health and the monthly newsletters were appreciated. He was very happy there and that meant the world to us. We couldn't recommend this care home enough.

Netherwood is a small care home that strives on a daily basis to deliver quality care and support. The staff are friendly and welcoming.; dealing with
difficult challenging situations with patience and humour. The bathing facilities would benefit from updating. I would recommend Netherwood to other

In the three years my brother has been in the home I have never had cause for any complaint. I think the staff do a really good job in very difficult circumstances. I have always seen residents treated with kindness. My brother can be cantankerous as I'm sure many elderly people there can be but he
has had very few grumbles. My family are grateful for the care that he is given.

Mom has been living here for nearly 2 years. She settled in quite quickly and tells anyone who asks that they look after her well, and that the food is very good. Mom has dementia, so her remarks cannot always be relied upon for accuracy, but she is doing better than I expected when she first moved
in, and far better that she was when she lived alone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan has been at Netherwood Care Home in Shifnal for several years and we honestly couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The staff are incredibly kind, patient and genuinely caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they always go the extra mile to make residents feel valued and comfortable.


The

activities are excellent and well thought out, keeping residents engaged and involved, and my nan really enjoys taking part. The food is also brilliant, good quality, well cooked and plenty of choice, which gives us great reassurance.


Netherwood feels warm, welcoming and very well run, but it's the people that truly make the difference. Knowing my nan is safe, happy and so well cared for means everything to our family.


I would highly recommend Netherwood to anyone looking for a care home for a loved one,

My mum is happy that's the main thing.
It's a shame trips out are no longer offered either with a charge or from funding raised at events.
The car park and driveway could do with repairing.
The cheerful atmosphere seems to be very low at the minute

The home was well run by Luanne and always clean and tidy thanks to a great domestic team. Food standards were very good and generally the care provided was also very good. The outstanding feature by far was the activities provided by Beata who was exceptionally hard working organising birthdays and
events throughout the year. She went above and beyond not only raising money to support the residents but making their time at Princess Lodge truly enjoyable. I am grateful for her outstanding work ethic and dedication.

Your kind words about Beatas dedication and creativity mean a great deal; her commitment to meaningful activities and resident enjoyment is something we are truly proud of. We will ensure your appreciation is passed on to her and the wider team. Thank you once again for taking the time to recognise their hard work and for your support of Princess Lodge.
