Sholden Hall Residential Home

My friend has been taken care of at Sholden Hall for the past four months. Whenever I've visited, I have found the staff both knowledgeable and approachable. The decor in some parts of the home is outdated, but the current owners are updating it. The staff interact well with the service users. As for the food, varied choices are given, and alternatives are always offered.

Poor facilities, poor decoration, poor food, uncaring staff, the list goes on.

We feel very fortunate to have found Sholden Hall. My grandmother has been at Sholden for nearly a year now. All of the staff are kind, caring and calm. Of course, they have been working under much more difficult circumstances over the last 2-years, but this does but show, though they must all be exhausted. Visiting has always been easy to arrange, and every resident seems happy and content. Sholden feels like a family home rather than a care home and always looks and smells fresh and clean. My grandmother is very happy and content; initially, I know she was difficult to settle because of her dementia, but all the staff coped admirably and ensured as little disruption and distress to her as possible. Communication is excellent, whether via phone or email.

I have come into Sholden Hall for respite. In the past few years I have spent time in fair few homes and I can honestly say that Sholden Hall is the very best by a country mile, the staff can't do enough for you and they are so pleasant and kind working sometimes in difficult circumstances. I would recommend Sholden Hall to anyone who has sometimes had to make the difficult decision to put their loved ones into care I can assure you they will be well looked after here. I immediately felt comfortable and at ease and at home

I would like to thank all the lovely staff at Sholden Hall for the caring and compassionate way that they are looking after my mum. Mum is in safe hands, and I can tell when I see Mum, she is content, bless her. Big thank you to you all; you all work so hard.

Wonderful caring staff, great compassion towards their service users. Would highly recommend them. Clean, comfortable and good meals.

My wife was given better palliative care than when in hospital at Sholden Hall, staff constantly attending her needs to a very high level. The level of care, love and respect was amazing and as a family we have nothing but praise and gratitude, staff at this home go over and above the call of duty at times even extending to visitors. My beloved wife was content here and passed away peacefully with dignity. Well done to all at Sholden Hall, you are a credit to the care industry and others could learn from you.

This is a happy cheerful and peaceful home. My father was happy and safe here and the family always felt uplifted coming here to see him. I cannot express enough how great all the staff were with him and us. Daddy living here was exactly what we wanted given he could no longer live in his own home. He said that the food was tasty and he made friends. I also want to say that without the help from the staff here we would not have been able to support Daddy. There is always a positive vibe and peaceful energy here due to the staff's commitment to dignity, respect and harmony.

The home is a friendly, relaxing and nicely decorated home to be in. The staff provide an excellent standard of care to residents and their families. I could not wish for a better home for my mother to be in she is very happy there.

Huge interior makeover. Entrance hall now looking light and airy and welcoming. Floors re carpeted or laminate wood effect covering. The whole atmosphere has changed and the home "feels" so much happier and staff at ease. Change of management 6/12, effect amazing.
