My mother was a resident at The Shire Hall Care Home for about 5 years. She had severe dementia as well as severe heart failure. She stayed with the care home until her death in August 2026. The care home was excellent in their care of her. All the staff in the home take an interest in the residents from the manager to the laundry/cleaning staff addressing her by name and chatting with her. When she moved in after a fractured hip she could hardly walk and the previous care home were unable to manage her physical and cognitive issues. Within a month they had her up and walking . She took enjoyment from the activities put on including singing and art/crafts or being in the garden or a trip out. As she worsened the care was still excellent. We had declined hospital admissions and so with the GP input all her needs were met. Her terminal care was at the care home and she had a peaceful comfortable end of life.
Thank you, Judith, for your kind words regarding your mother. I will pass them onto the team whom I know will be so proud to hear them! It has been our honour to welcome your mother and whole family to Shire Hall - thank you for putting your trust in us.
I really enjoy coming and helping at The "Queen bee club" and seeing everyone. Such a lovely place to come to with Wonderful staff.

My mother has been a resident at Shire Hall since early October and I cannot speak highly enough of it. It was a very stressful decision to move her into residential care but it has been such a positive experience for all of us. A huge thank you goes to the whole team for making the process so smooth. The surroundings and facilities at Shire Hall are lovely and all of the staff are so engaged, caring and kind. Nothing is too much trouble and my mother's happiness and wellbeing is a genuine priority. Visiting is a pleasure -- the downstairs coffee shop is a fantastic asset. My mother enjoys all of the activities, especially having her hair done in the salon every week. She settled in from day 1 and is far happier here than she was at home, which is a huge relief and comfort for the whole family.
