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.

Shedfield Lodge has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.561) out of 10, based on 9 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Shedfield Lodge has 37 reviews.
All the staff are very caring both to the residents and their families. They work very hard to make the residents happy. When I have visited all the residents appear happy and cared for. It is a very friendly Home.
My mother has been at Shedfield Lodge for 4 years now. Shedfield Lodge has very much been part of my mother's dementia journey, supporting her every need along with reassuring family members as well. They genuinely care for my mother as if she is part of their family and my mother always seems happy there and well cared for. The staff and management are always friendly with excellent communication skills with any health, care plan and medication updates. I can highly recommend this care home. We are so lucky that we found such a fantastic care home for my mother.
My mother was at Shedfield Lodge for nearly 3 and a half years. She was very well looked after during the pandemic when we couldn't visit. My mother was treated with kindness and dignity throughout her time at Shedfield Lodge. During her last days all the staff were very kind to myself and my daughter, nothing seemed too much trouble. There were always kind words.
My mother has been at this home for nearly 3-years, and as her dementia sadly becomes worse, her care has been adjusted. The staff all know what she likes and dislikes, despite her ability to talk using words correctly and treat her so kindly, like she is a member of their family. They treat her with genuine kindness, and she is happy there; smiling at the staff like she does her own family, which is reassuring, as you know if she does not like you with the look she gives.
Staff communicate with all the family well and make sure we know of all incidents and how she is overall. They have gone out of their way to help us see her before she forgets us totally, and to keep the residents safe, even staying on-site during the lockdown in March 2020.
I cannot recommend this home and the caring staff highly enough for anyone that has dementia (although not for residents that do not have this terrible illness as there are too many high-end dementia cases for those with other medical challenges).
Your support has always been appreciated. Your mum is an amazing lady and will always be part of our family.
My uncle lived at Shedfield Lodge for the last 18 months of his life. Moving him from a care home he didn't like, my 'orders' were - a place in the country, with animals and he wanted it to feel homely. I wanted somewhere that met all his needs and not too far for so I could visit him easily. The rest is history. He loved the garden, he spent most of last summer outside and it made him happy, when he had a difficult day. He made references to me about it always. He got very fond of some of the staff, and would point out the ones who were good girls, and I know he loved the banter he was able to have with them, and I had no worries about his care or that he was well-loved. He appreciated the age of the building and the size of his room. There have been many improvements made to the interior and exterior of the home during his stay. Lastly, the care, support and kindness given to him and myself, from management and staff, especially as end of life came, was second to none.
Thank you for your kind words, Lorraine. It was wonderful to know your Uncle, an amazing gentleman and a pleasure to be in his company. His humour was always uplifting and made us all smile. Take care for the future from all of us at Shedfield Lodge.
I could not wish for my husband to be better cared for. He is treated with respect, care and love. I especially like the way they promote his independence and dignity. The staff are very helpful and understanding as he can be difficult and aggressive. I am happy he is so well looked after.
Lovely residence and facilities to use. The staff are very warm, welcoming and professional which really helps provide you security and confidence of care.
Such a wonderful care home for my grandad. The staff are very nice and always helpful, I always enjoy the entertainment and sing with Grandad. I know he is well looked after all the time, always clean and tidy as he always was. Well done to all the staff that support him, they really do work hard.
Mum was transferred by taxi from Gloucestershire to Shedfield where a room had been prepared for her.
Mum loved Shedfield and the staff and all her needs were taken care of and our stress levels dissipated.
Awesome service and care.
My Grandad came to live at Shedfield Lodge as he was no longer able to cope at home. As a family, it was very hard for all of us to accept this had to happen but we couldn’t have wished for a better home for him. He felt very at home here. The staff and management are absolutely fantastic. Everybody was so kind and caring. I would just like to say a huge thank you to all of them.
Back up/agency support takes a few days to align themselves to the daily routine. A great deal of flexibility and tolerance is always shown towards the more difficult residents.
The facility is kept scrumptiously clean at all times.
My wife's room is comfortable and private.
Shedfield Lodge has looked after my husband since February 2017. I cannot praise this home enough, when I visit my husband he is always smartly dressed, clean and well fed and happy in his own world and the environment he lives in. The whole management team strive to constantly be up to date with all new procedures that are going on in the Dementia world and always trying to get local businesses to understand Dementia and the problems associated with it. I have to mention it was my birthday yesterday I went to see my husband and the management and owners got my husband a massive bouquet of flowers and a birthday cake for him to give to me. The carers and team are so understanding of all the residents' needs. During this hot weather, they are constantly giving them cold drinks and ice pops. Summing up, I would not want my husband anywhere else.
Thank you Pam for the beautiful review. It is an absolute pleasure to look after your husband, such a wonderful man and enjoy time with him each day.
My mother has been a resident at Shedfield Lodge for 8 years. The level of care she receives is excellent.
The staff are very caring and look after my mum extremely well. Shedfield Lodge was recommended to me and I'm so thankful that it was.
Thank you Debbie for taking a moment for your wonderful review. It is a pleasure to have your mum as part of our Shedfield family, such a warm and lovely lady.
She had several medical problems which were also dealt with extremely well. Mum wasn't happy in her later years, nothing was ever right, the staff had the patience of saints.
Thank you, Chris, for your very kind words. It was a pleasure to have and to help Mum. I shall pass on your praise to the staff who we value here so much.
The staff are kind. Talk to the residents. Know their likes and dislikes and know who I am when I visit and tell me where my mother is. She is clean and appears content. They deal with some often abusive residents in a calm and professional manor.
Thank you so much Rosemary for such a lovely review. Your Mum is wonderful to look after and it's great to have her as part of 'the lodge family'.
I have had occasion to raise some minor concerns, but am pleased that my concerns have, or are being addressed.
The Care Manager was extremely helpful to me when the difficult time came to make the decision to place my mother in care and continue to offer support to me.
I would happily recommend Shedfield Lodge to others as I know that my mother is happy in the home, and I now know that I made the right choice for her ongoing care.
Thank you for your review Paul and very kind words. Very much appreciated and it is a pleasure to look after your mother. As always, we do our best to support the family too in any way we can.
The home itself is a listed building and therefore not the easiest on the eye but it is clean and it is the carers and management that make the home, not the bricks and mortar.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this home
We are very proud to look after your mother and it is lovely to have her as part of the 'family' here at Shedfield Lodge.
Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful review.
From all the Staff at Shedfield Lodge.
