Both my mum and my dad have lived in Housteads . After seeing the quality of the care my mum received we did not consider anywhere else when finding a home for my dad. The staff are so helpful and they seem to genuinely care about the residents. There are plenty of events. As a visitor I always feel welcome. The only criticism I have is that the rooms are a bit small for more than the be visitor but there are other places you can go and the courtyard garden is nice .

All went above and beyond normal standards to give residents the support they deserve during their diificult times.
The same support was given to relatives of the patients, like myself. Always approachable, any time of the day and kept me informed on my wifes condition. The activities staff also provided a varied range of pastimes from seed planting to pub visits and visits of a wide range of entertainers.Sheffcare's slogan of' Care Not Profit' is certainly epitomised by their employees.

I contacted the home to ask if there was a room available for a visit. It was my Auntie's special birthday and there would be a few more visitors than usual. They arranged for us to use the dining room. They set up the table with the flowers and cards she had received and a balloon, there were...
All the staff came and wished her a happy birthday, and I saw first hand how the staff treated her with love and respect and I know why she is happy living here.
