We were very apprehensive about mom going into a care facility but Shire Oak House soon put that to rest. We visit mom twice a week and are welcomed every time. The staff and management are very polite and welcoming. Mom's daily needs are met attentively and we are kept up to date either when we visit or via a telephone call. If we have any questions regarding mom the staff are happy to help and if they can't answer'will find the answer for us with no hesitation. Mom has been in the home for 18 months now and is very happy and in her own words, she feels safe.

A respite care place was arranged for my elderly relative after a series of falls and hospital admissions as they were unsafe in their own home. First impressions of both myself and my sister is that the all the staff and management are very good, with the care of their residents being the top priority. The senior staff member who met us on the day my relative arrived was very friendly and focused on making my relative feel welcome and likewise the home's manager made time for me to explain my relatives situation, which was reassuring. My relative tells me that the meals have been good and more than enough for him. The room my relative has all the basics you need but maybe looks a little 'tired' in places but meets my relatives needs. However the level of care and concern has more than compensated for any minor issues with the facilities. I cannot comment on the activities undertaken as my relative has been there a short time. Early overall impressions are positive!
We can't praise the staff for their care and love towards our mother they are the best!!

Despite many behavioural challenges from my sister who has mental health illness they treated her with dignity and patience and did their utmost to seek help/work with professionals and family to support her needs.
Although my sister has now moved on I appreciate how the home went above and beyond for her.
All the staff greet you with a friendly manner and it is lovely to see them caring for the residents. The food was excellent and the home was always clean. We couldn't have asked for any more from any of the team at Shire Oak. Thank you!
