On a visit, my daughter remarked 'it's like a hotel and she would love to end up here'. My resident mother, widowed since 1985, is the happiest I have ever seen her. The company of others has raised her spirits enormously. I can't recommend Shelburne Lodge enough.

My mother in law moved to the home in December 2017. The service she received when she arrived was lovely. The staff are friendly and go out of there way to help you if you are not sure about something. The manager helped us very much in the run up to her moving in. Showing us the home and her room which was very clean and decorated beautifully. Mother in law can be very stubborn at times but the staff are very understanding. Well done all.
Many thanks for your comments, I shall pass these onto the staff.
My mother has not looked this well cared for in ages, very clean and even nail varnish on. At home, she had a carer visiting but not much time spent so very basic.

Generally good care, my one main criticism is people being left in bed when they want to get out, one excuse being the battery on the hoist is dead. This is unacceptable if it was needed in an emergency i.e. A fire.

All staff, nurses, etc in the day are most caring and helpful to my husband who is unable to get out of bed and do anything for himself. They are always there to help him and for our family. There have been just a couple of times when night staff have not been found and he did ask them to be more gentle with him, but I cannot fault the day staff at all.

The food is good and varied and you can always have something else if you don't want what's on the menu. The care I get is very good - my wife was in another home in Wycombe and it was awful, but Shelburn Lodge is very good and I am very happy to call it my home now.
Everything is good and I am happy about the care my husband receives. It is very welcoming and all staff are nice. I can't fault anything.

Clean, tidy and helpful staff. The only concern is that the front door never seems to be locked so anyone can walk in.

My husband has been here for seven years and nine months. He is very well cared for, carers take great care with him and pay him plenty of attention. He is well fed and enjoying all meals.

No complaints at all. Staff are very pleasant and happy and helpful. I would be very happy to live here myself!

Whilst there are some genuinely caring members of staff, most are apathetic or worse. The home is almost permanently understaffed to the point that residents have to wait to be taken to the toilet, to have pads changed, or to be fed. They do not have the time to get 'more difficult' residents out of bed, dress them, or, by the look of it, wash them half the time! Staff turnover recently has been very high, probably due to the abrupt, difficult manager. The standard of food has been variable due to the changes in kitchen staff but is now reasonable. We have had numerous problems with promises that things would be done, but they have not. Activities used to be very good, but the home no longer has an activities coordinator; someone else who left!
Mum is very happy, enjoys the activities and the home's cat and Manger's dogs.
