When entering the care home, I'm always welcomed with a friendly; "hello how are you". The staff are always kind and always help with any problems I may have.

Thank you, W P, for this review. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to our team. Many thanks, from Shire Lodge Nursing Home team.
It is one of the hardest decisions to place your loved ones in someone else's care. From the time that we first visited Shire Lodge when we were faced with the knowledge that my mother could no longer care for our father at their home, we know Shire Lodge was the best, last thing we could do for...
The carers are not just carers they have also become our friends. They are there when our dad is having a good day and they were there when he needed to go into hospital, and when he returned he was treated with care, dignity and respect. We could never hesitate in recommending Shire Lodge to anyone who may find themselves in the same situation and we consider ourselves extremely lucky that our dad is in their care.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review; so lovely to read. We always appreciate feedback and will be sure to pass these comments on to the staff. Thank you, Shire Lodge Nursing Home Team
The manager and all her staff do a fantastic job looking after my wife. It is the most challenging of jobs undertaken with care and compassion to a high standard!

Hi my name is Rebecca and I am the administrator at Shire Lodge Nursing Home.I joined the company in 2010. I was a care assistant within the home until November 2018 and was then given the opportunity of Administrator. I love my job and the company I work for and I am willing to help anyone and everyone in any way I can. Helping others on a day-to-day basis is a passion of mine and to be surrounded by a great co-workers and residents makes me happy to be coming to work every day.
I have level 2&3 in health and social care and I am now working towards my Level 3 Administration to better my knowledge. I hope to be with the company for many years to come.

Hello Everyone.My name is Dawn and I am the activities coordinator at Shire Lodge Nursing Home. Next month will mark the 6th year I've worked here. I started my life at Shire as a carer and have been lucky enough to gain qualifications and experience with differing levels of Dementia.
I moved over to activities to "help out" and have chosen to stay on it, that was 4 years ago!
I consider my job to be the best job and I love it. I get to spend quality time with all the residents and enjoy getting to know their loved ones too. Planning ways to maintain their wellbeing through crafts, games, tea parties, live entertainment to name a few and sometimes just hold their hand if that's what they want.
As I said it's the best job.
