* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 10 (maximum of 10) for The Shelley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 45 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Shelley in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.985 for The Shelley is calculated as follows: ( (531 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 539 Ratings = 4.985
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Shelley is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6.4 positive Reviews (32 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 22 Reviews ÷ 6.4 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
The Shelley has a Review Score of 10 (9.985) from 45 Reviews
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Matt G (Friend of Resident) on Wednesday 21 February 2018. Relates to January 2018.
My elderly friend has been a resident for several years now and I visit her usually twice a week. Having experienced other care homes (my fiancee works in the industry) 'The Shelley' most certainly ticks all the boxes. With the appearance of a traditional English 5 star hotel rather than a care home, I always look forward to my visits. The staff are extremely warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It's also quite obvious that they function extremely well together as a fully cohesive team under the excellent leadership of their very experienced manager. It's the little touches also that make such a difference such as 'Fudge' the home's pet cat, as well as the tasteful decor that makes it feel so homely (I'm convinced that the owner is really a frustrated interior designer at heart!). There are always homemade 'goodies' available to go with my coffee (thanks to the excellent kitchen staff) which is one of the reasons I'm not there on a daily basis (to save my waistline!). Personally, I'd move in tomorrow myself, but then, unfortunately, I'm only 53!

We were already aware of the excellence of The Shelley as my son in laws mother has been a resident there. Since my mother moved in we have been made even more aware of its qualities. The excellent results below show that we are delighted with the quality in all departments, especially the staff.

For the three and a half years that I have been here, I have received nothing but kindness and attention. The rooms which are cleaned daily are warm and cosy and many enhanced with personal possessions. The food is varied and nutritious although perhaps not to every body's taste, tea.coffee and soft drinks are available at all times. Visitors are welcome and offered refreshment. Help from the staff is immediately at hand for any eventuality. The varied entertainment outings and activities are phenomenal.
The qualified management are always ready to give medical and financial advice if needed.

I am a fit and healthy 'eighty-four-year-old' who lives by herself and I felt it would be wonderful to have a weeks respite care where I would be fed, watered and perhaps pampered. I had an excellent time in The Shelley. My room was spacious, warm and comfortable. I chose to have my meals in the main dining room and enjoyed chatting to other residents. The downstairs lounge was warm and comfortable and had daily entertainment, from musical recitals to interesting talks on numerous subjects. I had a wonderful week and left feeling rejuvenated. I hope to return later in the year.

The Shelley is a fantastic home, meeting its residents individual and personal needs on a daily basis. The care they provide is outstanding.
As a close family friend, I was warmly welcomed. They always went over and above with the care they provided. Excelling in the end of life care they gave and the support to the family.
I would not hesitate to recommend the home and the staff to anyone. I asked the home for this review as I feel they deserve the praise and credit for their outstanding care.

Mum and dad both have been in regularly for respite. They feel so at home that they never want to come home! They did a pantomime for the residents even the owner was involved! We were all invited and there was a fabulous atmosphere. The activities are great and over the holiday period were even more amazing.
They had Santa Claus party, carol singing and various evening meal functions. The staff are so very kind here which is why we go back time and time again. We have used many other care homes over the years but this truly is the best there is. I feel it is excellent value for money and amazing care. Thank you.

My in-laws have received the most fantastic Care here!!! Nothing is to much trouble for the staff. There is always something going on outings and activities. We use The Shelley regularly for respite and my mother in law did not want to come Home!!! I completely understand how they have the outstanding grade. What a shame there's no higher accolade. They need one it's an amazing place. Thank you!

Since moving into The Shelley in early 2017 my mother has been very happy making friends as she has not had the occasion to do for many years. The staff at The Shelley are very caring and the management are also much involved and available, the food and accommodation are excellent. Visiting is flexible and you are made to feel very welcome. Mum is experiencing failing health but she is being well looked after. I cannot wish for a better place for my mother to be at this time and I thoroughly recommend this care home.

The Shelley is a fantastic example of a well-run home.
It is beautifully appointed with tasteful furnishings and quality that really supports the high standard that the home achieves.
There is always well-trained staff on hand to assist whenever needed and that level of support from the owner, management and staff is clearly evident.
The choice of food and quality is five star and I love the drinks machine that is available to all in the lounge, makes a fantastic coffee.
The home is kept spotless and I feel this really underpins the dignity of those that live in this beautiful home.

I visit The Shelley on a regular basis and am always impressed by the polite, helpful staff. The home is always sparkling clean and the seasonal decorations are amazing. The coffee they serve is better than the High Street and I am always offered refreshments. Entertainment is daily and varied and I often feel I am visiting a hotel, not a residential home. I would recommend The Shelley to anyone.

My mother loves The Shelley - their staff is wonderful and the residents all so friendly. Food is consistently of a high standard and the entertainment remarkably good. At Christmas and other celebrations, no expense is spared to decorate and provide a lovely experience. I cannot recommend the home highly enough. Everyone is treated as an individual and with the greatest respect.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jane W (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 8 January 2018. Relates to November 2017.
My mother became a resident at The Shelley after a period of loneliness and deterioration at home.
The staff welcomed her and her family so warmly and she soon settled in. What could have been a bewildering and worrying time soon turned into happier times. The management and staff couldn't have been more wonderful. The comfortable surroundings were pure luxury. The Shelley turned into a true home for my mother where she received excellent care, second to none. There is nothing I could criticise. She sadly dies at The Shelley with dignity and in comfort.

I cannot recommend The Shelley highly enough (I hope to book a place in years to come!).

After placing my mother in The Shelley for 8 months it is clear to see why The Shelley has an outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission. The care my mother received was simply "Outstanding". All the staff were always so welcoming, always had the time to listen and support the resident and the family in so many ways. I have no hesitation in recommending The Shelley to others.

Rating 'Excellent' in all categories below is no exaggeration; it is hard to speak too highly of The Shelley Care home. Everything is aimed at "care" for the residents. The management is first class, the staff are wonderful. I cannot imagine a better place for my elderly mother to be.

I have nothing but wonderful praise for the Shelley. The staff are full of love for their residents, something that I'm not sure would happen in many such homes. My mother has been there for two and a half years now and she is, I honestly believe, much happier than when she was living at home by herself. She feels loved, is surrounded by caring, funny, thoughtful people and is truly relaxed and content. The facilities at The Shelley are beautiful - everything is fresh and well tended. The entertainment is beyond compare - a constant stream of outings, musical events, local school children, pets and even a llama visit! My mother, never a foodie, has told me numerous times how good the food is - and they have a facebook page showing the residents and staff just loving life (and yes, the food looks amazing!). I could not be happier for my mother to be living there, and when the time comes, I might just book myself in!

Nothing else quite like it. From the moment you walk into The Shelley care home, you feel at home.
With smiley and welcoming staff offering a range of teas and coffees and the sound of live entertainment waving you in. The staff at The Shelley go above and beyond to ensure each and every resident receives the love and care they need. The décor resembles a five-star hotel, the food is delicious and the constant entertainment is unmatched
A truly unrivalled care home that exceeds all expectations. It cannot be faulted.

I visit The Shelley regularly after my great aunt stayed here a few years ago. It is the most wonderful place where staff are happy and helpful, always something going on and you can feel positive energy all around you. Senior staff are calm, competent and efficient. Care is provided in a compassionate manner. Food is wonderful (I have stayed for a few lunches) Lots of choice and variety.

I have lived at The Shelley for four years now and have always found it excellent, but it is the last few weeks that really proved to me they are the best since my knee surgery last month, I have been showered with care and kindness second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they all without exception attend to me with kindness. I am very fortunate to have found The Shelley when I did.

The Shelley is a wonderful place, all the staff are so kind and caring. My father has enjoyed his stay and will be sad to leave all the wonderful staff to go to his new flat. They have been so attentive when he has been ill and know if he doesn't feel himself. The entertainment has been good, lots of singing and outings. The 2 lady organisers are full of fun. The food is wonderful, my dad has put on a bit of weight but looks much healthier for it. My dad has said if he doesn't get on independently at his flat he will be back! Thank you for so much.

Always friendly greeting on arrival and when in residence. Bells to all help answered promptly. Activities above average. The happiness of the staff working together is a great back ground help to the residents, a very good atmosphere.

I have lived here for eight years and it has become my second home. The owner, manager, deputies and all of the staff treat me as a human being and care for me in a gentle and positive way. Nothing is too much trouble and I have all the independence I need. The security of living here is a massive relief and I have no need to worry anymore. I am pampered respected and loved greatly by many. There is a constant buzz about the home, and laughter and love is everywhere. The food is of an extremely high standard with no shortage of anything, and superb choice at all times. the activities, entertainment, outings and daily happenings are in abundance. There is no need to be bored. My family live overseas but they don't have to worry about me now. I love living here and I am most fortunate to be able to do so.

My father was extremely happy and comfortable and was looked after well. The staff, most of whom had worked there for a long time, were very kind and caring. They were endlessly patient and would go out of their way to help him to be as independent as possible. Whenever I visited they made me feel welcome and at ease and included me in their strategies for caring for my father so that I felt we were working together in his best interest. My father could often be heard telling visitors what a wonderful place Shelley was and I am only too happy to agree with this. I would recommend the Shelley to anyone who was considering living in a care home.

Everything about The Shelley was excellent. Staff very friendly and always helpful. Food very tasty, high quality and a good variation. Staff always willing to fit in with the patients. It was like a lovely hotel! My aunt says she is definitely coming back!

Excellent care and attention
The care attention given to my father at The Shelley Care Home was excellent. It was a great joy for us to see him joining in and smiling. Our thanks to all of the staff for helping us to understand his needs and find solutions, with our deep gratitude for their compassionate support.
