My overall review of Barchester Wheatlands Care Home was good. I spent 3 weeks respite there in May this year. The care was excellent by hard working staff with plenty of smiles! My bedroom was tastefully decorated but short on plug sockets and the toilet in the en-suite had dark staining in it, but was advised there were no cleaning products allowable under COSHH regulations to remove it, but otherwise standards of hygiene and cleanliness were excellent. The food was good, considering residents requirements and in generous amounts. Activities were varied for those who wanted to participate and run by enthusiastic and friendly staff members.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

It was a real pleasure to bring my three young sons to visit their great-grandmother at Wheatlands. All the staff were eager to greet the children, offering them drinks & snacks and making sure we could all be comfortably sat together with my grandmother outside. My grandmother is clearly at ease and well known in the home, the friendliness and care is tangible and it brought her a lot of joy to be able to welcome myself and the children in for a visit - it will be a precious memory for them to have had an enjoyable experience visiting this comfortable, accomodating, happy home.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, both residents and staff enjoy seeing children at Wheatlands. We pride ourselves to ensure all our residents and families feel at home. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

The care my mother receives is absolutely excellent. The staff are superb and retain their senses of humour despite the long hours and demands placed upon them.

I started this role in June 2020, and I have over 20 years of experience within the hospitality sector.
I love producing excellent quality nutritious meals for the resident and their loved ones, whilst always taking into consideration individual likes and dislikes.
I enjoy chatting with the residents and finding out what their favourite classic meals are, and then adding them to the menu for them. I try to keep a wide variety so there is a good choice for everyone.

We are delighted to have Karl as our Maintenance Manager here at Wheatlands.
Karl has lived in the Bridgnorth area all his life and has built up a wealth of experience. He began his career working at a local garage, before setting up his own property maintenance business in the Bridgnorth area, which he successfully ran for 28 yrs.
In 2020, Karl joined the local council, where he spent four years before moving into the care sector. He worked at another local care home for 2 yrs, an experience he thoroughly enjoyed, particularly the opportunity to spend time with residents and give something back to the community.
Karl already knew about Wheatlands' history, including its beginnings as a Dr Barnardo's home. He was attracted to Wheatlands because it gives him the opportunity to do what he does best, maintaining and improving the home, all whilst working in an environment where he can interact with the residents and make a real difference to their day-to-day lives.
We are delighted to have Karl as part of the Wheatlands team.
I have worked at Wheatlands for 12 years now, I work nights and I have a really good relationship with the residents, I enjoy spending time with them as well as making sure they are completely comfortable and cared for.
