The standard of care given to my father over the 4 or so years he was a resident was nothing short of outstanding. I shall be eternally grateful to the staff for looking after him and his complex needs so well. They did exactly what the description of 'care' means they cared. The whole place...
The palliative care at the end for my father was wonderful. I thoroughly recommend Shiels Court Care Home to anyone with a relative with Alzheimer's.
Very happy with the care of my father. Would highly recommend.

Shiels Court is a very good care home. The residents are very well cared for and whatever the problem is, the staff are willing to help. My mother has been at the home approximately 4 years and we really have seen the home come on, especially in the last 8-9 months. The new management have improved the home with decoration and furniture. Staff are always on hand and I know that if there were any issues I could approach them and they would sort it out. I would recommend Shiels Court to my friends and family.
Shiels Court is a very good care home. I have visited the home since my brother was placed last year and the new management have really turned the home around in the last 6 months. The home is being decorated and looks very nice with some character. I would recommend.

Shiels Court is a worthwhile place for a person with complex needs or otherwise. Main reasons would be the recent improvements that have been made to the home including redecoration and changes in management which has resulted in much better quality of care and a happy atmosphere within the home. The new manager and her team are really putting their heart and souls into making Shiels Court a quality provider and this is beginning to be seen. Continue the hard work in wanting to provide person centered care and thank you for all you do for my loved one.
Thank you very much for reviewing your experience at Shiels Court, we are very pleased that you are happy with the care your friend/family member is receiving.
I feel Shiels Court is moving in the right direction under the current management. Despite the inadequate rating by the CQC in December improvements have been implemented and the manager is open to change. Staff training, once fully implemented, will aid this.

Architecturally the home has positive features. The main rooms are easily accessible to residents and there are no lengthy corridors that can be a negative feature of some establishments. Furniture is of a good standard. The garden is pleasant but paths could be safer with more grab rails.
The home caters for a range of clients which can be a positive, especially as ages cover a wider spectrum and the male to female balance reflects the wider society.
Importantly the staff are good at communicating health issues and ensuring medical attention is called in as necessary.
There were always plenty of staff and you...
There were always plenty of staff and you would always see the same faces (sign of a good place to work in my eyes). The main lounge was nice and big, the whole place was always clean and tidy and the food they served was always all cooked fresh. There was always the tea/coffee trolley going round with everybodies favourite 'pink wafers'.
If mum was ever ill I was always kept informed, even for the slightest of things. The manager and her team do a top job and they all deserve a good pat on the back. Even in mum's last few hours she was treated with utmost dignity as were we as a family - Thank you Shiels Court.
