  • Isle Court Nursing Home, Shrewsbury
Isle Court is in one of Shrewsbury’s most sought-after postcodes, thanks to its idyllic rural location. The charm of the views can be enjoyed from many of the en-suite bedrooms in this beautifully appointed former country house, with some ground floor rooms benefitting from French windows leading to private patios.

The home is proud of its local reputation and offers clinical expertise in many areas, including palliative, respite or specialist complex care for those people living with dementia and other conditions.

Morris Care has developed its own ‘Cedar Philosophy of Care’ which focuses on the personal, emotional and social wellbeing of residents as well as their medical healthcare. This holistic approach means residents can feel listened to, calm and content and families are reassured that loved ones are both safe and happy.

Good nutritious food plays an important part in everyone's lives and the home's dining room provides an elegant environment for residents to enjoy fresh, home-cooked meals – and families are always welcome to join and dine with loved ones.

The social life coordinator plans a stimulating activity schedule with something to interest everyone. From gardening club and summer BBQs to day trips to local attractions like the British Ironwork Centre. The social life coordinator also arranges for a range of regular visitors, from talented musicians and performers to local school children and community-spirited events.

Residents also enjoy the landscaped gardens, bright, relaxing lounges and the wide range of other facilities such as the purpose-built cinema area, hairdressing salon, vintage tea room and sensory spa.

My Dad was moved to Isle Court from the hospital so he could spend his final days in a calmer environment. The staff were caring and kind - not only looking after Dad and ensuring he was comfortable but also taking care of me as I sat with him. The building and grounds are lovely and tranquil, and everywhere
is spotlessly clean.
Reply from Janet Pannell, Interim Head of Operations at Isle Court Nursing Home

My mum came to isle Court after a spell in hospital and was very weak and we as a family were very sad. She perked up after just two days and was lavished with care and attention, she really began to shine, she was more mobile, ate better and smiled and I as her daughter felt she was being cared for
by people who actually care.
The staff, nurses, carers, housekeepers, receptionists, stewards and kitchen staff are exceptional. A breath of fresh air.

Dad's time at Isle Court has been amazing. From the time he arrived, he was met by smiling, happy and very helpful staff. The care given was outstanding, and nothing was ever too much trouble. As a family, we can not fault any part of the care given and how clean and welcoming the setting was at all
times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was in Isle court for only 3 1/2 weeks. The staff (all staff) right from the start were very welcoming and friendly. Mums room was very clean and homely. We took mums belongings up and the home had a very good system of ensuring mums washing returned to her on a daily basis. Mum wasn’t a very
good eater but the home made every effort to ensure mum had what she fancied at any time helping mum to eat if she need assistance. They were very good to ensure mums personal care and hygiene were met and mum had a say in her care. During the last few days, the staff not only made sure that mum had everything to keep her comfortable they also support us as a family ( and there are a lot of us) nothing was too much for them even during the long hours through the night keeping us fed and watered.
I would recommend Isle Court to anybody it is just a lovely place and all staff were just lovely.

I cannot compliment Isle Court Nursing Home enough with their care of my dying sister and myself. We wanted for nothing and it was a great relief to me that I knew she was in excellent hands. The premises were beautifully kept and there was a feeling of peace when you entered. The food provided was
also top rate.
Well Done Isle Court

Isle Court is a lovely place we are so glad our mother is here and is being so well looked after and it's put our minds at rest. We can relax knowing she's well cared for. The only thing I'd recommend is some help for the lovely helpful, friendly ladies on reception they have so much to do with Covid
and paperwork, answering the phone, take messages to and from their relatives. Well done.

My father-in-law went into Isle Court in September 2020. He was not in a very good place physically and mentally. I can not thank the staff enough for their patience, understanding and care shown not only to him but to his family. He has now become well enough to move on to a placement. Thank you so
much.

Isle Court is a lovely nursing home, set in beautiful surroundings. Dad has been very comfortable in his stay here and the staff look after him well. The front of house staff is friendly and very official at dealing with all the Covid restrictions. This is my first dealings with a care home and I couldn't
have asked for a better experience.

We moved our mother from a nursing home she has only been in for 2 weeks due to neglect. After our first visit, we knew she would be happier at Isle Court. The staff make you feel so welcome even under Covid restrictions. The staff are very kind and understanding and very patient with our mother.
She
is being so well looked after it is with a lot of relief on our behalf. Highly recommended.

From the moment I reached the front door of Isle Court the staff have been welcoming and empathetic. The nursing staff are very caring. The home is spotlessly clean and my mother says the food is delicious. I have nothing but praise for the care my mother is receiving. I have received kindness not only
from carers and nursing staff but also from receptionists and cleaners.

After two weeks of living in the area, I was faced with finding a nursing home for my dad. The kindness of this nursing home was outstanding. One carer has been an amazing individual to me and my dad. Always attentive and professional. Sadly, Dad was only in just under a week when he passed away, but
the care and dignity he was given was astonishing. I would like to thank all of Isle Court Nursing Home staff for making my experience a pleasure at this very sad time.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for Isle Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.667 for Isle Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (554 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (14 Poors x 2) + (26 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 652 Ratings = 4.667
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Isle Court Nursing Home is based on 50 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 82 registered maximum number of service users is 16.4, which has been reached with 50 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
