The staff were absolutely fantastic. They took great care of my friend with tenderness and respect. They were also very kind and in the early days, allowed her to have her meetings in the home with her "Sparkles" group.

When walking up to the front entrance, I could see how well maintained the grounds and pathways were.

When my husband was due to move from hospital, I was so worried as I'd visited many places not too good. Shelburne Lodge was a joy to me. So friendly, so caring and his room is so cosy with his own bathroom. My husband is very happy there, loves the food and the residents love him. Such a help to me at this sad and worrying time.
Thank you for your kind comments.

My husband spent the last week of his life receiving 24 hour nursing care at Shelburne Lodge.
All staff were very caring, but two team members deserve a particular mention: the deputy manager was wonderful - going well above and beyond. She was so compassionate and caring and treated my husband with the utmost dignity and respect. Nothing was ever too much trouble. She cared for our family as well as my husband and we will always remember her kindness.
In addition, the maintenance manager was great. He was called upon several times to facilitate a change of room and adjustments to my husband’s bed. We found him to be friendly, efficient and very supportive.
I would not hesitate to recommend Shelburne Lodge.
Thank you, Mrs K, for your very kind comments. I will pass these on to the staff.
I feel that her last days were as comfortable a stay as the home could make it. I could not wish for better myself.

Thank you for your kind words, Mr C.
Overall I find the home to be very well run by the management and staff. The carers are all very nice and I can speak to them with any issues I have, and things are normally sorted out fairly quickly.

Our 92-year-old relative can be demanding at times and needs much attention. We found that the staff of the home are always very friendly, patient and caring at all times.

I have not found a sad person working here, all staff say hello and it is kept very clean and tidy. I have not eaten here but it looks good, always drink and cakes for guests. All rooms look like they have a view onto gardens. If I was taken ill, I would like to be there.
