My mother has been a resident at Sharnbrook House for ten months now and has received excellent service throughout this time. In January she was unwell and her care was exemplary. Room service was provided at all mealtimes the doctor visited and care staff were regularly checking her progress and wellbeing. I was kept informed of treatment and my mother is now recovered and enjoying the activities which the home provides. Many thanks to everyone at Sharnbrook House.

My mum has medication for mental health problems which are difficult to manage and the home do their best to keep on top of this. However, they are restricted by the cuts in the NHS budgets and the doctor, so my mum is not given additional blood tests to check her levels. Everything else is excellent.

The care home offers daily activities and the rooms, common areas and garden are lovely. All the staff are really nice and there is always a nice atmosphere in the home. The food is always home cooked and really tasty. I have always been happy with the level of care my Mum has received and would recommend the care home as a lovely place for loved ones to stay.

The care my friend has is exceptional. The staff are friendly and considerate to her condition and make her feel safe and well looked after in what is a stressful time for her.

Following an unexpected five-month stay in a hospital, I had the dubious task of finding a care home for my Mum and luckily came across Sharnbrook House. As soon as I walked in, it felt like a home from home. Clean, friendly, cosy, relaxed and a beautiful setting. The home manager is an angel and the rest of the team are close behind. Nothing is too much trouble, every need is catered for but everyone who lives there is treated with respect and dignity and encouraged to be as independent as possible. This is the resident's home and the staff are there to help and care where needed. Mum has been there a year now and belongs. It is her home and she is thriving.
Mum moved into Sharnbrook House in January 2016. She had been living in her own flat but over the previous year had been in and out of the hospital as her health and mental state declined. Sharnbrook was one of the first care homes we looked at, and having visited several, my sister and I had no...
We weren't wrong and although her stay was short, she was treated with care, compassion, dignity and friendship all the time she lived there. Mum passed away peacefully in her room in June and my sister and I were with her until the end.
The staff treated us with the utmost compassion and did everything to make mum's passing peaceful, tending to her with kindness and extending that same kindness to our family. We wish we had placed mum in their care earlier and know that her final months were spent somewhere she felt safe and well cared for.
While visiting a dear friend at Sharnbrook House we were received by staff and were very impressed by the warm welcome, we were shown into a family room and a carer brought our friend along in her wheelchair. There were four of us tow with disabilities. The carers were very helpful and made us feel...
Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. The food was excellent. This is the second time we have visited our friend at Shaenbrook House and both times we have commented on how clean, tidy and friendly the home is. Our friend is very happy.
The staff are amazing and caring. The food cleanliness etc is outstanding. I could recommend.

My mum had always been of the mind that she never wanted to go into a care home. Injury circumstances resulted in mum being admitted to Sharnbrook House for six weeks of respite. Living in Scotland I was very worried mum would be unhappy. I phoned every other day and it soon became apparent that mum did not want to leave. Mum told me that she was happier than she had been for years. The manager has been great and has arranged for my father of 90 to join mum next week. I arrived yesterday and was overwhelmed with the reception from staff and the immaculate condition of the home. I had an aunt in a close by home and Sharnbrook far exceeds this. I am so pleased mum and dad are here. It would be fair to say its a hotel for the elderly.

I came here straight from the hospital and I was most welcomed and made to feel at home immediately. I always had a fear of going into a home but Sharnbrook House alleviated my fears almost immediately. The staff were so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The lovely meals were well presented with a great choice. I quickly decided it was the place I wanted to be and am now going to stay. My husband is going to join me next week for respite and should he like it as much as I do we will both stay on together to live our life in peace and happiness. I cannot rate Sharnbrook House highly enough.

Warmly welcomed by management, found all the staff friendly and helpful with a professional attitude towards residents also family and visitors. Rooms warm and inviting with activities laid on for residents. A very nice dining are laid out in restaurant style, also a lovely area to sit and look out at the lovely gardens down a seated corridor for the residents and guests visiting, also the carers to sit and chat to the residents.
We were very pleased with the level of care provided for my aunt. I could not imagine her having been in a better place. The staff took care to get to know my aunt and what she liked/disliked. She passed away in December and was looked after well throughout her illness.

I’m very proud to be the Home Manager at Sharnbrook House, a place that has been part of my life for many years.
I joined the home as a Kitchen Assistant when I was just 15, and have since progressed through roles including Care Assistant, Senior Carer, Care Supervisor and Deputy Manager. It’s incredibly special to now lead the team in a place I know so well.
My experience also includes working in complex healthcare, supporting people with spinal cord and brain injuries, tracheostomies and other specialist needs. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve continued to develop professionally. I hold qualifications in Health and Social Care and Lead Adult Management, including a Level 4 qualification with distinction, and I’m currently working towards my Level 5.
What matters most to me is creating an environment where people feel safe, respected and listened to. I’m committed to supporting our team to do their best and ensuring families feel involved and reassured.
I feel very fortunate to have built my career at Sharnbrook House and look forward to continuing that journey with our residents, families and team.

My role at Sharnbrook House is rewarding as I am able to care for elderly clients in ahome which is person centred. After 34 years of employment I have seen the home
change over the years and the changes have been all for the better. We are one big happy family.

Working as a Senior Care Assistant at Sharnbrook House supporting the residents who live here gives me such pleasure. It’s great to share so much fun and laughter with them, making it feel like we are all one happy family.

I have been the Head Chef at Sharnbrook House for 15 years and as I love cooking it is my ideal job. We all work hard but still manage to have a laugh and joke with both our colleagues and the residents. We all get on and we make it our mission to ensure theresidents’ stay here is a happy one.

I was first employed at Sharnbrook House as the gardener in 2010. Ten and half years later I have progressed to Head of Maintenance, responsible for health and safety, risk assessments and fire safety within the home. I enjoy the varying tasks my job holds on a day-to-day basis especially when the residents interact with me whilst I am carrying out my duties, and I treat each one as an individual.

I enjoy working as a Care Assistant at Sharnbrook House. The residents who live here are lovely. They pick me up when I am having a bad day by making me laugh.

Having worked in my previous employer for over 23 years I took a big leap and applied for a similar position at Sharnbrook House and have been here now for 3 years. I enjoy my work but I especially love the clients who each have varying individual personalities and quirky little ways.
