We are very pleased with the care our relative receives especially since she is now bed-bound and needs more personal care. She feels it is her home now and that the staff are her friends. It is reassuring that staff go out of their way to make sure she is kept as comfortable and cheerful as...
We live quite a distance away and when we ring for an update, we always get a friendly greeting and our questions are answered thoroughly. Many thanks for the efforts of ALL the staff, particularly over the difficult period the world is currently going through.
Thank you for sharing these words, I am so glad that this feels like home and we alike consider your relative as a friend.

My sister has been a resident in Memory Lane at The Wheatlands care home for some time now. All of the staff there very kind and obliging, any request is dealt with in a friendly manner, nothing is ever too much trouble. When visiting we are always met with courtesy and smiles, this from the Gardners, Cleaners, Kitchen staff, Carers and Management, usually a quick ‘welcome’ chat is in order before duties are continued. The food prepared on-site is excellent with a daily menu in the reception area for all visitors to see. Anniversaries/Birthdays are celebrated with cake to share and every effort is made to make the day special. Health and hygiene are top priorities, and if there should be a health problem it is dealt with immediately and we are kept informed. Wheatlands is efficiently run and the staff and management have a good working relationship which is obvious by atmosphere at the home.
I am so glad that your sister is settled, it is a privilege to be able to look after her and we are very fortunate to able to offer our support.
My experience is very good. I have had help from all staff, a good relationship with them, and I have no problems unsorted with them. My room at the home is small, clean and comfortable with a lot of my own possessions.

Thank you for your kind words, it is so nice to see you are happy at the home and are enjoying your stay.
What a brilliant home all the residents are treated like family if I had to go into a home this would be the only one I would go to. The staff and manager cannot do enough for you so very lucky to have a home like this.

This for my husband has been in the Wheatlands Care Home for 8 weeks. He suffers from Alzheimer's I was filled with trepidation with regard to how he would cope and although sometimes a little sad, he has adapted and settled and seems to enjoy the chatter and company of the staff who are extremely caring. I have been so impressed by the friendliness and compression shown by the staff. The visiting Pod has been great for family and close friends. The manager and her staff maintain an aura of calm and gentle control and provide an excellent service to both their patients and families.
Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased you have found our visiting pod of great use and we feel lucky to have this as a visiting option in addition to all other methods. We will share your feedback with our team.
Because of Covid-19 I haven't seen my friend for over 12 months. I can't comment on her room as I have not seen it yet. I do know she seems very happy when talking on the phone. Medially she is looked after really well. I'm so pleased she resides there rather than being at home alone.

My sister was a resident at Wheatlands for about 6-years with severe dementia, and she was very happy there. She was so well cared for, even loved by the staff. They also cared for my niece so well during this stressful time of her mum's illness. They helped her deal with the loss when the end came.

Mum moved to the Wheatlands on 19/07/20. Due to covid restrictions, we have been restricted to outdoor visits, phone and FaceTime communication. All these have been good considering my mum's condition with Alzheimer's, which has progressed considerably. We are grateful for the care she is getting in these difficult times. The new visiting pod is good, although I think it is a bit clinical. Obviously for hygiene purposes. Look forward to normal times!
Thank you for your comments, we are glad Mum has settled and that all the methods of keeping in contact are working in these difficult times, we are also looking forward to normal times and are so pleased we have welcomed the vaccine.

My husband came into Barchester Wheatlands Care Home on the 29th of June after a rapid decline in his Alzheimer's. During the past five months, I have felt my husband is well looked after and cared for. Support staff at visits have been so helpful, encouraging, kind and communicative. A couple of times a week I have phoned to ask how my husband is and have always been given time, care and detailed information. On the 28th of September, it was our 30th Wedding Anniversary and I had a visit booked. The Health Authority stopped visiting, I was upset, however, the care home arranged a card and a bouquet of flowers for my husband.
Thank you for all your kind words; we are so pleased that your husband has settled into the home, and that we were able to bring some joy and smiles on your wedding anniversary.
The staff at Wheatlands are so caring and understand Mum's personal needs and eccentricities. I have had the great sense of relief that mum ha been looked after during these challenging times of Covid, by such a great team.

We cannot comment on the room as she has recently moved to Memory Lane and we have not seen the new room due to lockdown and restrictions on visitors. The original room was excellent. However, the bed and linen were a little disappointing, when compared with the overall decor of the home, which is outstanding, along with the care and facilities provided.
Thank you for your review, we are hoping to welcome visitors again soon and look forward to seeing you.

Thank goodness Mom is a resident at Wheatlands Care home, Much Wellock, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The care and attention she has received during this crisis has been outstanding under very difficult circumstances and has kept her safe, secure, and healthy. All staff has made huge personal sacrifices to achieve the highest level of care and attention provided and we thank you all most sincerely. The benefits of the Wheatlands being part of a large organisation became apparent during the crisis with PPE for staff and testing for all carers and residents being made available sooner than many other care homes. The availability of FaceTime is also appreciated when face to face contact is not available. The foregoing has given us comfort and reassurance Mom is in the best possible place for her continued wellbeing. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind comments. Wheatlands has maintained its passion for high quality care and its great to hear that this has still come across through these difficult times.
All activities keep my mind ticking over.

Dad had been living at the Wheatlands since March 2019 and is really settling well. Every time I visit, I am welcomed with such friendliness by all the staff who are deeply dedicated to looking after the health and happiness of the residents. Medical problems are picked up very quickly and are dealt with by the relevant person. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the care staff. Their kindness and patience are always in evidence which makes for such a calm and peaceful environment to live in and visit. This really is a home from home and the feeling is of being in a very happy family atmosphere.
Thank you for your feedback, this will be shared with the team, I am so pleased dad has settled at Wheatlands and he feels at home here.

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.
