Thank you for your praise. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents so it is always lovely hearing the feedback from friends and family.
Having worked as a GP for 30 years, the care at Shockerwick given to both my mother and father is the finest I have experienced in the sector. The personal commitment of the staff to the residents is consistently exemplary. The buildings, facilities and furnishings are also top-notch. The gardens are an oasis for residents and visitors. The skill and compassion in palliative care allowed my parents and ourselves to face their last days in peace and with dignity.
Thank you for your kind words, Andrew.
Experience as a resident over the last 3 months has come up to my expectations in all respects.
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate your praise.
As I live alone, I needed a weeks respite care after a hip replacement operation. I visited Shockerwick and found the experience welcoming, supportive and flexible so booked my post-op week. The setting Shockerwick is glorious - set in beautiful grounds - uplifting in itself. My room was lovely and the staff were amazing - so kind, encouraging and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The meals were very good, with plenty of choice. My week at Shockerwick provided me with a bridge between hospital and returning home, helping me to regain my independence in a supportive way. I'm so grateful to all at Shockerwick for making my stay so positive.
Thank you for your kind words. It is absolutely amazing to hear about your recovery and we are very happy you enjoyed your stay at Shockerwick House. Please don't be a stranger and come down to visit us.

Hello, my name is Dana and I am the home manager at Shockerwick House.
I’m Romanian and worked for many years in the travel industry before I moved to the UK in 2015 and started my career in care.
I initially worked as a health care assistant before moving on to activities co-ordinator and services co-ordinator roles. I worked closely with the home manager and managed most of her non-clinical duties. One year later I was offered the home manager position at another home within the organisation and moved from Bath to Bristol.
I was delighted to join Shockerwick House in 2025 and I am very much looking forward to continuing its legacy with the help my fantastic team.
I have been an RN for over 40 years after completing my training at Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton.
I joined the team at Shockerwick in 2009 and love the professional, friendly, and family atmosphere that we promote here.
In my downtime, I love to spoil my family, especially the grandchildren.
In my spare time I am a keen gardener and love making Jam’s and pickles and when it comes to relaxing there is nothing I enjoy more than a bag of minstrels.
I rejoined the team at Shockerwick House in 2014 as a Senior Carer after 3 years of working as an HCA at the RUH Bath.
Most of my career has been in administrative work but from a young age, I felt that the caring profession was where my heart lay.
Working as a team we provide outstanding care for our residents and there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a smile on their faces.
In my spare time, I love riding my horse and relaxing in the sun.
I have been working in the care sector in different roles since I was 18, only taking a break to have my family.
I joined Shockerwick House in January 2021 as an activities coordinator. While this is my first role totally focused on activities, I have had the same philosophy in all my roles - to make sure I bring happiness, joy and normality to all our residents’ daily lives.
When I’m not working, I love to bake and work on arts and crafts..
