A massive help was him interacting downstairs with the other guests there and a special thank you to the games coordinator you know who you are and are a very special lady..
My father had his favourites who looked after him, he loved them all but he had those special ones again you know who you are and I thank you..
He was treated with compassion and dignity towards the end..
They made his last few days as comfortable as they could..
I would definitely recommend anyone who needs to be placed temporary or long term you would not go wrong here

We were very happy (as a family) with the care my father received in the five months he was in Shelton Lock Care Home. He was treated with care and dignity throughout. We found all the staff friendly and although my father ate very little the menu and the food quality looked excellent. At times we had to wait for someone to open the main door but understood staff were dealing with residents. Overall a lovely home and caring staff.
It's hard to find the words that describe what an amazing team you have at Shelton lock care home and we could not have asked for a better place for our Dad to be at his time of need. We picked a room for him overlooking the garden and although his time with you was short, those final days for all...
If I were asked if I could recommend anywhere I would not hesitate to point someone to your door. Thankyou to each and every member of staff for making a difficult time a little easier.

My husband and I were treated with such care and warmth. Every member of staff treated both of us as if we were part of their family. I would recommend the home and each member of staff.

Without exception, staff were kind and caring but there were clearly not enough of them to meet all resident's needs in a timely manner. The room and bathroom were not cleaned for a week with soiled towels left in the bathroom & the bin containing hygiene products was not emptied. There were issues gaining access on one occasion I rang the bell several times a waited 20 mins before banging on the office window to get someone to open the door. The food was good and always delivered with a smile.

The meals I choose are served in the dining room or my room. Some people watch TV together in the lounge, others do craft or games in the craft room, it's a way of meeting people.
I like to do jigsaws, read, go in the garden, have visitors, having my hair dressed and then watching evening TV.
Our family are very satisfied with the care and attention given to mum.

I have been very satisfied with my experience, my mother quickly settled in and has now been there for three years. At first she was fairly independent with personal care and and needed help with mobility, as she has become more frail, the staff are very good with providing the extra care that she needs. She enjoyed the activities while she was able to attend.

My relative was so well looked after at Shelton Lock Care Home for the 6 years she was there with nothing being too much trouble. Her personal care was very good despite her being bedridden for several years. Everything I mentioned to staff and the manager was acted on giving love and understanding. When she passed away I was contacted so I could be with her and a member of staff was sitting with her when I arrived. The staff stood by the front door of the care home to say goodbye to her as she left. Because of the way she was treated another family member has now decided to choose Shelton Lock as a place they would move into.
The staff are mainly lovely. The home seems understaffed, why? Lots of agency staff especially nights. The staff need to be paid more! These kinds of care homes are making a lot of money! My mother had 3 days without heat last weekend! The radiator needed bleeding! How difficult is that to sort...
The staff are mainly lovely. The home seems understaffed, why? Lots of agency staff especially nights. The staff need to be paid more! These kinds of care homes are making a lot of money! My mother had 3 days without heat last weekend! The radiator needed bleeding! How difficult is that to sort out? She is paying £1000 a week!

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to make improvements where required. We are sorry you felt the home seemed understaffed at the time of your loved one's stay. We were experiencing periods of absence with our regular staff; however, we did receive support from colleagues from a sister home, which is always our preferred option. We apologise for any inconvenience caused due to the heating. We did experience some issues with our boiler during November, though we did maintain our heating and hot water systems throughout with the support of our contractors. The home was provided with additional portable heaters which were made available to each resident. With regards to the fee paid for your loved ones stay, HC-One regularly reviews fees alongside our competitors' fees in the adjacent area and these are updated to reflect. If you wish to discuss your concerns further, please do not hesitate to contact the home.
