Cheswardine Hall Nursing & Residential Home

My mother has been a resident at Cheswardine Hall Nursing & Residential Home for over six years and I cannot praise them enough. When she contracted Covid in November I was notified straight away and kept informed about her health every day and fortunately, she recovered very quickly. The home did an amazing job at keeping the residents all as safe as possible during the pandemic. I don't think they could have done any more, therefore only a few residents actually caught Covid. The food always looks very appetising and my mother says it tastes very good. That is high praise for her as she worked in the catering trade for many years. There is never that smell of boiled cabbage and gravy no matter what time you visit. The staff are always friendly and will always offer you a cup of tea. Although my mother can be argumentative at times, the staff will always smile and have a joke with her. I hope she has many more years living there in those beautiful surroundings. She especially enjoyed the activities when available.

My father has spent the last nine months at Cheswardine Hall Care Home whilst waiting for the appropriate care package to be put in place at his normal place of residence. The team at Cheswardine have always gone the extra mile to ensure that my father is comfortable, safe and well cared for, even during an outbreak of Covid and gastroenteritis. The extremely personable staff have, without exception, always made me and all my family members very welcome and, more importantly, have seen to the needs of my father when their valuable time and capacity allowed for it. I'm sure given the choice and provided the circumstances allowed it, most residents would prefer to be in the comfort of their own homes. However, Cheswardine has gone and continues to go a long way to making this location an extremely comfortable, peaceful and safe environment for my father and one that is a very good, second best to his own home.

In conversations with friends who seek care homes my benchmark is always Cheswardine for quality, compassion and care.

My mother has been a resident at Cheswardine Hall since October last year. She has a comfortable room with en-suite facilities which she appreciates. The staff are friendly and helpful, and she is happy with the care that she receives. Cheswardine Hall is a lovely building in a beautiful setting and we are looking forward to exploring the grounds as the weather improves. I visit often and enjoy sitting with my mother in the music room, enjoying the view while we chat. It's good to know that my mother is safe and well cared for.

There is nowhere else in Shropshire that I would wish Mum to be. Thank you to all the staff for the wonderful care you take of Mum.

Should I get to be a very old lady, I would be very happy to sit by one of those tall windows and gaze across the acres of parkland all day, nodding off occasionally over my book and relishing the peaceful dignified environment (and visits from Poppy spaniel.)

My mother was a resident here both for rehabilitation last year and more recently as a resident as her frailty worsened. The care and support my mother received were excellent as was the support offered to us as a family at such a difficult time. The dignity and understanding provided to my mother were excellent at all times.

My uncle spent the last fifteen months at Cheswardine Hall. I cannot thank the care staff, nurses and all the Cheswardine team enough for the care and respect they showed my uncle. They nursed him and cared for him until he peacefully passed away in his room at Cheswardine Hall. The staff always made me and my aunt welcome when we visited and most importantly my aunt was able to say goodbye after each visit knowing he was being well looked after and most of all he was happy.

As her brother I cannot praise the Hall highly enough and I unreservedly recommend it.
