My mother has been cared for in a safe place. She has been treated with dignity and all her needs have been met for the past 8 and a half years. The individual care from senior staff is especially good as well as the food. Mum has enjoyed the activities at the Barchester Wheatlands Care Home, initially when she went out and more recently when they have entertainers visit the home. When I have had to raise any concerns with the home, usually to deal with Mum's progression with Alzheimer's disease, I have been listened to and the home has made the necessary changes to procedure.

Staff show good commitment and levels of care are also high.

Paula’s journey with Barchester Healthcare began in 2001, when she joined Wheatlands as a Care Assistant. She quickly progressed to Senior Care Assistant before taking a break to raise her family. Paula returned to Wheatlands in 2007 as a Senior Care Assistant and continued her career in care.
In 2017, Paula returned to Wheatlands full-time as a Senior Care Assistant, before being promoted to Deputy General Manager in 2018. In 2021, she took the next step in her career, becoming General Manager at our sister home, Field House in Church Stretton.
Now, in June 2026, Paula has returned to where it all began, taking on the role of General Manager at Wheatlands.
Having lived in Broseley all her life, Paula has strong roots within the local community. She has dedicated her working life to caring for others, with the majority of her career spent with Barchester Healthcare. Her wealth of experience, commitment and passion for care make her a dedicated professional and a valued member of both the Barchester family and the local community.

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.
