My aunt was brought here from hospital for end of life care. From the beginning, the staff were professional, communicative and helpful. Whilst my aunt would have preferred to spend her last day at home, she was certainly well cared for.

I have only visited a few times but found the staff very helpful. Having had limited exposure I have none the less found the home clean, there appears to be plenty of activities and it's always easy to find a member of staff to deal with any questions.

Dad was only in the care home for a few weeks until he died, but in the short time he was there the staff were wonderful. He was treated so tenderly and always looked clean and comfortable. Our family also were shown every consideration and given time to say goodbye because they kept us informed towards the end of his life. Can't thank the staff enough.
At a sad and difficult time, it was wonderful to visit my husband and feel we were among friends and he was treated with great love and dignity by all the staff.

I have been visiting my friend for many months now. The welcome I get is always friendly and helpful. My friend always looks very well kept and happy. The home has a lovely homely feel to it. This home would be my first choice if I need to go into a home.

All staff extremely kind and compassionate. Nursing staff see to everyone's needs. Food is lovely and I eat regularly with my husband. Would like more fruit, other than that I am extremely happy with my choice of care home.

I find the staff very friendly and accommodating and the actual home, comfortable with a lovely garden, birds to watch in the aviary, clean everywhere too.
Food seems to be very good.

I feel sorry for the staff sometimes as they can't be in more than one place at one time and people can't understand that. I worked in a hospital ward so I do understand that. Also, messages are hard to pass on sometimes. Above all, very good "homely" home.

The staff here are so caring, sensitive to her needs in every way, cheerful and understanding.
Mother felt at home here. Sadly she was critically frail and lived with dementia, plus a stroke, which took her speech and mobility away.
But she still gave the nurses a smile or a little wave.
They are all kind and helpful to the residents, even the chef who makes delicious meals.

MANAGER PROFILE – SHELTON LOCK CARE HOME
Introducing Nicola MillarHome Manager at Shelton Lock
What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?
“Kindness to me is treating everyone you meet with respect and dignity, in a way in which you would expect to be treated yourself.”
After beginning her career in the care industry more than 15 years ago, Nicola has gained great knowledge of general nursing, with a specific interest in palliative care.
As a qualified nurse and dedicated healthcare professional, Nicola has gained a wealth of experience in providing care to elderly people to help enrich their lives, leading to her progression as Home Manager.
Nicola closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for every Resident. She extends this caring approach to her Colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to Residents in a way that means they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.
When asked what she enjoyed most about her role, Nicola remarked: “I love being able to make a difference to Residents’ and Relatives’ lives through providing compassionate, kind and high-quality care.”
Nicola credits her greatest achievement to diving the Great Barrier Reef, where she got to experience swimming with sharks.
Outside of work, Nicola enjoys an active lifestyle as she participates in Zumba, yoga and Pilates, as well as spending time with her horse and upcycling furniture.
