My dear friend and companion spent a month at Waverley House until mid-December during the final weeks of her life when she was at her most weak and vulnerable. I visited her often and was able to witness for myself the attentive and consistently good care she received from the fantastic team there. From the caring and accommodating manager and his warm, friendly deputy to every member of the team, nurses, carers and all the other staff at this special care home. They always made me feel welcome and worked tirelessly to help my friend stay comfortable and well cared for. The home is modern, bright, clean and always welcoming. My friend had special dietary restrictions and nothing was ever too much trouble for them to provide! The amazing nurses and carers helped my friend through a very peaceful passing when her time came. I can't recommend Waverley House strongly enough and will be ever grateful for the exemplary care they gave my dearest friend.

Dad has been a resident now for four years and as a family, we have a long association with the team at Waverley. Always welcoming, friendly and with a 'nothing is ever too much trouble' attitude, the staff at Waverley are exemplary in the work they do in caring for my father and all the other residents. The home is a 'home' and not just somewhere that Dad lives. It is clean, bright, warm and has a lovely feel. The food is well presented, varied and appetising and residents are given a choice of daily meals. All in all, it is a first-class home and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a secure, safe and well managed home for a loved one.
The team at Waverley House have provided friendly and caring services for my elderly sister. They show sensitivity to my sister’s wishes and needs. I think this is due to good leadership which has developed a caring and conscientious staff.

Over the past few years, the staff at Waverley House have looked after my Gran on the nursing floor, and my Grandad first as a visitor to the day centre and then as a resident. I feel the fact my Grandad chose to move to Waverley House after my Gran passed away demonstrates how high the standard of care is. During COVID-19 there have been no cases at the home, the staff have been tremendous on this front. When we weren't allowed to visit on a couple of occasions they helped organise Skype calls. There are countless personal little touches that make the world of difference. To say the staff are kind is an understatement, I have interacted with staff in the office, nurses, HCAs, domestics and the chefs. Everyone goes out of their way to look out for the residents and visitors. Knowing my Grandad is here, safe and loved gives me peace. All I can really say is thank you.

Finding a care home that meets the needs of the family member and in a location that allows for visits from, distant family is difficult.
We as a family feel grateful to have found this one. The manager, who has been there throughout our time of involvement and his staff have always shown great support and knowledge of our parent's needs.
You have to visit and feel the culture and management rather than read reports. I know so much time and effort goes into providing quality care and support to each and every resident, regardless of their needs. There will always be times when your expectations may not be met or decisions are made that may not fit within your expectations. In all these cases we have been able to discuss, understand, or have an impact on what is offered.
I hope that this will helps others.
Waverley House is well managed with good friendly and caring staff. They are looking after both my Aunt and Uncle and are taking great care to keep them safe and well during this lockdown period. We have been able to visit, and they have made special arrangements to employ a Welsh speaker for them...
I would recommend the home to anyone needing care for their relatives.
A high-quality service with strong leadership and attention to detailed, individual care needs of residents. All staff are closely involved with residents and demonstrate love and care for them and preserve their dignity at all times and interact with their relatives and always report any concerns.

It is a home from home with all staff always available to help.
Luckily I don't need care yet but if I did I would be happy to be in Waverley.

I seem to have been visiting Waverley House for many years since most of my friends are old - I myself am 88 and so, unfortunately, some becoming unable to look after themselves. I have also visited in other homes and Waverley is by far the most professionally run whilst retaining a very personal touch with its clients, families and other visitors like me. For one, you feel there is an understanding of ageing and its problems both physically and psychologically and the necessary frills that are a part of our last years. Obviously, the staff are well trained and well supervised and work as a team. I cannot comment on the 'value for money' side since I am not involved with having to pay but feel National Health should pay for its elderly. The World is not perfect.

After finishing my degree I returned to live in the Leominster area, I was looking for a job to get into the health care sector. I applied for several care positions, Waverley’s “care for them like your own family” attitude is what drew me to them.
When I first started at Waverley I was extremely nervous and had zero experience with helping to care for others. The team were fantastic showing me around and able to answer all my questions. One benefit of working for Shaw is the 70 hours shadowing period. In other care settings, this can period can be as low as 12 hours. Shadowing over a longer period like this allowed me to learn from staff in a hands-on approach, in turn, this allowed myself and the resident to feel confident in my ability to carry out high-quality care when I started my shifts.
I had been a support worker for two years when the position of a team leader became available. I had worked hard as a support worker and felt ready to progress in my career, after an interview I was offered the position.
My current role includes liasing with other health care professionals such as doctors and social workers. It involves me creating care plans individually tailored to each resident under my care. Care plans highlight client's specific needs and includes important information in regards to an individual's care. As a team leader, I am also responsible for a team of care staff in the delivery of care to residents in a designated residential unit. I am responsible for the management and administration of medication. My role includes working effectively with others within the home to ensure resident's needs are safely met. Furthermore, I strive to champion person-centred care approaches. It is my responsibility to maintain knowledge of the organisation’s responsibilities under the CQC regulations, including residents’ rights. In addition to Work in compliance with Shaw Healthcare Policies & Procedures.
Working for the Waverley House has provided me with the opportunity to develop my career within health care. Waverley House is currently part of an exciting development leadership program which are looking for future management candidates amongst their current staff. After an interview process, I was offered the role of an engagement champion. This new role, alongside my team leader position, will allow me to work more closely with management, helping me to develop my leadership style and support new and current staff within the home.

I have been a part of the Waverley Team for two years and it has been a fulfilling experience to work amongst some of the most caring and knowledgeable individuals. It has been an honour to accompany our residents along this important journey of their lives, and provide the wellness, happiness and kindness along the way. I like working at Waverley because amidst all that may seem uncertain to our residents and their families, we provide the certainty of a home away from home. The Waverley Warmth is an experience to be felt, and its great to be a part of that.
