Shedfield Lodge was built in the early 1800s as a Manor House set in Victorian rural pastures in the heart of the Meon Valley. To this day the building has been restored to reflect original designs providing a long established care home for the elderly. Grazing ponies, open fields and a landscaped garden provide a quiet rural feel only 10 minutes drive from Fareham or 5 minutes drive from Wickham.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, who is 86 and has dementia, went into Shedfield Lodge for respite care. The thoughtful and professional care that she received was truly amazing and well beyond any reasonable expectations. From the management who is responsible for creating the overall atmosphere to every member of staff
responsible for implementing the aims of the care home, everybody was always kind and considerate, helpful and caring.
I could not ask for a better experience for my mother.

My mother came to Shedfield Lodge for a respite period. The care she received was second to none. The staff were amazing in coping with her complex needs and made her feel welcome and at home. She very much enjoyed her stay in particular mixing with other residents and taking part in the various activities.
I
highly recommend the Lodge and all their services.

MY 94-year-old Sister entered Shedfield Lodge in January 2024. She was suffering from dementia, was post-operative, and had recently recovered from pneumonia. She now has some mobility issues. She is well cared for and likes the staff. She has improved both mentally and physically. The style of management
creates a warm and friendly atmosphere and GP support is first-class.
I feel welcome when I visit and am kept informed of my sisters well being.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This home is excellent the staff are caring thoughtful and well trained. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Although the sitting room looks crowded the use of the garden areas mitigates this. The staff are excellent at communicating with us and respond instantly to any requests. Rooms are spotless
and they take great care of the resident's clothes and possessions. They were very kind and supportive of the resident's husband when he visited and if this was at a meal time always gave him lunch.

A lovely home with caring and attentive staff who took care of my family member excellently during her time there. Amazing grounds out in the countryside and excellent one-on-one activities which are person-centred to everyone’s needs - as well as regular live music which my family member absolutely

Overall, I am very happy with the care that Shedfield Lodge Care Home has provided Mum. She is content and happy in the home and genuinely cared for. There are some really great members of staff there who go the extra mile to look out for Mum. When there have been issues, such as mix-ups with clothing,
Shedfield has been receptive to these issues being raised.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I visit my grandmother, the staff are very welcoming. They ask whereabouts we would like to sit for our visit (myself and my grandmother mostly choose to sit in the lovely garden/summer house); the staff come out regularly to see if there's anything we would like or need. The staff are very attentive.
My grandmother is very happy living at Shedfield Lodge, and she is forever singing their praises for everything they do.
Reply from Mark Faulkes, Training & Recruitment Consultant at Shedfield Lodge

Such a wonderful review, thank you. Looking after your grandmother is a pleasure, and together with her friends, she certainly is part of the family at Shedfield Lodge.
She always speaks fondly of her visits she has in our summer house with family.
Such a warm and friendly person.

Accepting my mother had dementia was very hard, but admitting that I could no longer give her the care she needed made me feel I was failing her. The team at Sheffield Lodge were so supportive throughout and has continued to be. My mum has friends again, enjoys activities again and laughs again. I feel
blessed. I have my mum back, along with a whole new family. For that, I will forever be grateful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It is our pleasure to care for your mum, such a wonderful lady.
Always makes us smile, and I know she thoroughly enjoys our entertainment.

Highly recommended by me.

Shedfield Lodge is a welcoming and caring home with a good family feel and friendly atmosphere, set in a delightfully rural area. Only recently, my mum (who has Alzheimer's) remarked to me: "aren't we lucky to live in the countryside"; this was shortly after she'd been moved to a room with a beautiful
view across the fields. This means a lot to me as Mum is not independently mobile, and it is lovely to know that she can appreciate such lovely scenery from the comfort of her chair.
The staff work hard to make family visits as enjoyable as possible, given the Government-imposed constraints under which they have been operating. Management is always responsive to any concerns and does its best to resolve them in a timely manner.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Shedfield Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.910 for Shedfield Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.91
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shedfield Lodge is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
