Review from David B (Nephew of Resident) published on 25 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Aunt was in full-time care at The Shelley from August 2018 March 2019, when, unfortunately, she went into hospital and was unable to return following a downturn in her health.
I have to say, the care and love she received at The Shelley was exemplary. The sense of wellbeing and happiness hits you at the front door.
Aside from the very high standards of cleanliness, nutrition and comfort, I was particularly impressed by the activities and entertainment program, clearly designed to promote both the physical and mental well being of the residents.

The staff could not be more friendly and helpful both to the residents and to their relatives and visitors; a real welcoming home from Home.

Overall Experience

This care home is outstanding in every way. The staff from management to carers are exceptionally kind, caring and sensitive both to residents and their families. The home is always friendly and welcoming and has a lovely atmosphere. The surroundings are luxurious and always spotlessly clean. There is always lots going on for the residents with varied entertainments and trips out. My mum has been so well looked after, always treated with love and respect - what more could you want.

Overall Experience

Delighted to be able to recommend The Shelley to my neighbour and happily there was a place available, just when she needed care for respite. The staff cared for her in a very respectful manner, which included humour and suggestions when appropriate. I am grateful that 24-hour care helped my friend through a vulnerable time.

All care staff, without exception, are always cheerful, helpful and courteous. All staff are very hard working but always greet residents with a smile and help for disabled.

Gentle exercise and entertainment provided every day, plus short trips in minibuses around town and countryside.

Overall Experience
There is only one word that will be appropriate for The Shelley and staff - AMAZING.

The quality of care and accommodation is off the scale and nothing is left to chance. The Shelley is outstanding on every aspect from care to food to entertainment. It is like one big family for the residents and the family of those residents - AMAZING.

Review from Daphne C (Respite Resident) published on 30 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I recently stayed at The Shelley for two weeks respite care while my daughter and son-in-law went away for a holiday.

I couldn't have been looked after better. The care I received was outstanding. The staff were very attentive to all my needs. My visitors were made to feel very welcome. I enjoyed joining in with many of the activities provided and the meals were excellent. I most certainly will be returning to The Shelley next time my family are unable to care for me.

Overall Experience
I came here for respite care after leaving hospital. I have been surprised by the very high standard of care. Nothing is too much trouble to them. All of the staff have been very kind and sympathetic.

The food has been excellent, each meal has been excellent. Well prepared, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Very suited to older people.

Overall Experience

The Shelley is an amazing home, as soon as you are welcomed in you can’t help but notice the family friendly vibe.

Residents and staff alike always seem happy and smiling and you instantly feel at ease.

I really enjoy coming here, nothing seems too much trouble, you are made to feel so welcome and part of it. Staff are so friendly, the house is grand yet homely and the activities on offer are excellent.

I for one would be very happy to live here.

Review from Matt G (Friend of Resident) published on 21 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Margaret D (Resident / Service User) published on 6 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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.

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.
