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.

I am very pleased with Shedfield Lodge. The staff have made me very welcome, in fact they have made me feel at home here, which is very comforting and my wife is being very well cared for, which is paramount to me.
Happy lot, get on well with all the staff. Everyone's friendly and I enjoy my visits to my brother.
A friednly, caring and homely environment. My wife has settled into her new lifestyle very well. My daughter and I were very lucky to find Shedfield Lodge with a vacancy at just the right time. The staff and management are all lovely and caring and the facilities and environment are brilliant.
Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are friednly, caring, happy and engaging. I would not hesitate to recommend Shedfield Lodge to others.
I could not ask for a better experience for my mother.
I highly recommend the Lodge and all their services.
Staff and facilities are excellent.
Highly recommend.
I feel welcome when I visit and am kept informed of my sisters well being.
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.
Fantastic care home with lovely staff that can't do enough to help. Residents are excellently cared for by a large team of dedicated and personable staff. Everywhere is extremely clean and secure, and communication is excellent.
My grandad was here for a long time and everyone took such great care of him. He was very happy and settled during his time at Shedfield Lodge and can’t think of anywhere else he could possibly have been happier.
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 loved!
The meal choice was very good and the activities were varied around her and the family was always accommodated when visiting.
Friendly, helpful and caring staff who clearly have a focus on the needs of all residents as individuals. Shedfield Lodge is clean and nicely decorated. Dad settled in quickly and enjoys being here. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
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.
Kind, caring staff, creating a peaceful atmosphere inside the care home with a lovely country setting outside. I am kept informed of health issues and feel very welcome when visiting.
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.
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.
Always makes us smile, and I know she thoroughly enjoys our entertainment.
Highly recommended by me.
The whole atmosphere is family orientated.
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.
