Just a short walk from the beautiful Cardiff Bay, Hallmark Shire Hall is a nautical-themed, luxury care home conveniently located close to the city centre. With a large, landscaped garden for residents to enjoy, a therapy dog named Archie, and various features within the home – including a social café, activities room, and traditional pub – Shire Hall is a place where residents thrive.
Moving into a new home is a significant moment in anyone’s life, but with a bighearted approach that puts residents and their loved ones at the centre of everything the team provides, easing into life at Shire Hall is a smooth transition. From the moment the team meet the resident and their family, they really get to know them; likes, dislikes, hobbies, and pastimes, all so they can support them to live fulfilled days. Plus, Hallmark All-Inclusive covers all residents' food, drink, and care needs, right down to their favourite biscuit.
The doors of Shire Hall are open day and night for loved ones to drop by for a home-cooked meal, a game of something fun in the lounge, or a gentle stroll around the gardens. However residents wish to spend their time, the team will make it happen.

My mother has been at Shire Hall for almost a year during the Covid pandemic - a difficult time for all. Unfortunately, lockdowns have prevented me from seeing mum as much as I would like. However the staff have been brilliant in keeping me informed, my mother always looked well looked after and freely interact with staff who always show her the utmost respect and treat her with dignity and affection.
It has been a very challenging year for everyone, but we will continue to ensure all residents are as happy as possible and hope you continue to visit whenever you can.

My husband is well looked after and well-loved. He always looks clean and tidy. The staff are always friendly and polite, and the nursing staff always professional and ready to listen to any concerns. He loves music, and they often have musical afternoons with the occupational staff. The food is very good, well presented and tasty. His clothes are always clean and ironed. He always seems contented when I visit. I have a few niggling complaints, eg, shirts and slippers going missing, but on the whole, I am very satisfied with the Shire Hall and its staff.
Thank you for your kind comments, Julie. We always try to resolve any issues that arise and appreciate your honest feedback.
Care is always good.
