Shelburne Lodge looked after our Dad so well we couldn't have asked for anything more.
He enjoyed the activities and the entertainment, we used to come and visit and he'd tell us all about it.
His room was kept immaculate.
He was always clean and tidy and comfortable.
The food always looked good and if he didn't fancy the meal the staff would try and find him something that he did want. We really can't praise the staff enough.
We sadly lost our Dad in February, we miss visiting him dreadfully.
But we can honestly say we know our Dad's last few years he had new friends around him and was well looked after.

My Aunty has spent three years in this home and if she would have taken part in all the activities it would have been lovely. I did manage to get her down a few times. The care my Aunty got was excellent and she was not that easy. The staff understood her difficult ways and sometimes she got cross because they did not come when she bussed. We told her she was not the only one in here. The last two weeks of the end of life care from all the staff was amazing. Thank you so much.

My mother was admitted at short notice less than 24 hours after her husband died and the reception was exceptional. She was welcomed with compassion and understanding. Almost immediately, we noticed an improvement in her general behaviour. She became responsive and more alert. She has eaten well and put on weight. We would recommend a Barchester home to others without hesitation and would like to thank the staff and management for what they have done for mum.
