My wife located at Minsterley for two years and three months. Excellent care and attention, no qualms about her care. Knowing what I know I will recommend myself to be placed here.

It happened to us 3 times at least. Didn't know how he was? My Dad lost loads of weight and became gaunt and had difficulty feeding himself. When he went into hospital the last time because of an unwitnessed fall the ambulance staff were told he hadn't eaten for a few weeks and had lost weight. The ambulance staff asked if the doctor had been called to see my Dad. They were told that the home had no phone signal for a week so couldn't contact the Doctors. Sorry? Mobiles.
After that hospital visit, Dad was sent to a different room in Hillcrest with none of his familiar stuff around him. And he didn't see any of his things ever again and as a family nor did we. Dad, a smart well-dressed man sent to the funeral parlour in socks. His good leather shoes lost? Sorry, my overall review cannot be positive. They let Dad down.

Good afternoon, I am really saddened to read the content of your review, I am really sad to read that this is how you feel about the care your dad received here at Hillcrest Manor. As much as I am unable to discuss Dad's care on this website, I would very much appreciate your feedback in person, as none of the content of this review has been brought to my attention before this publication. Kind regards.
Staff are a great help to me - the care is good and they are kind to me.

My father was resident at Hillcrest Manor for over two years and had visited for respite care in the year before permanent admission. He was quite a challenging patient but received excellent care and support from all staff. He was blind and had dementia and was at particular risk of having a fall because he was very active during the night but due to the swift attention of staff, he remained safe. The food was excellent and he enjoyed his meals very much. At the end of his life, the management and staff were very caring towards our family members and I will always be grateful for being allowed to sit with him listening to his favourite music in his final days. Grateful thanks to all staff at Hillcrest.
Thank you for your lovely review, I would like to say that it was a great pleasure for me and my team having the opportunity to nurse your dad.
My aunt was in Hillcrest for end of life care, and the COVID-19 pandemic meant I was unable to visit through her whole time there. She died of heart failure in June.
So the review is based on impressions on phone and email contact rather than visits, and is an impression therefore, plus comments...

So the review is based on impressions on phone and email contact rather than visits, and is an impression therefore, plus comments from people who know the home. I did always find both the admin staff and nursing staff very helpful, efficient and caring.
My Mum has been at Hillcrest for 18-months and has settled in well and always seems very happy when we visit. She requires a high level of personal care and we're very grateful to the kind and caring staff that look after her. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and work extremely hard...
Hillcrest is in a lovely position, so I'm sure the residents appreciate getting outside to enjoy the view. The food is excellent, and always plenty of it. Mum needs 1:1 for eating, so we thank the staff that feed her. Communication has improved in the last 12-months, which is very much welcomed - great newsletters!
Thank you very much for your lovely review, caring for mum is an absolute pleasure.

I am very happy.
