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.

Where can I start? Shire Hall is the most professional, yet friendly care home. My father moved into Shire Hall in February 2018 and all the staff to help my dad transfer were amazing and truly lovely. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. It really is just like one big happy family. All team members are amazing and are approachable. The carers care with a relationship centred approach. Any problems relating to my dad are dealt with straight away and I'm notified. Shire Hall is just the best.
My mum is very, very happy here.

Since my father moved into Shire Hall, he has enjoyed more activities than he has done in years! The food is wonderful too and I can relax knowing that all the staff not only care but actively encourage my dad to enjoy his time. He has been on a picnic, attended a show at the Millennium Centre and gone swimming - all in one month. I feel so much happier that he is looked after so well.

The whole process from initial contact to moving in has been handled with sensitivity, friendliness, efficiency and professionalism. All the staff at Shire Hall Care Home are friendly and caring and take time to talk to and reassure the residents. The nursing staff and carers take an interest in residents and have made an effort to get to know my wife. They try to reduce her anxieties and are always available to give feedback on the day's events. The environment is comfortable, clean and relaxing. It is always a pleasant place to live.
You cared for my Mother before she passed and you now care for my Father.
Outstanding on all levels.

I have been pleased with the level of care my Father has had since moving into the home a year ago. He has settled in well and all his care needs are taken care of. He often goes on outings with the activities team and is kept active as he has always been an active man.

My nan has lived in Shire Hall for quite a few years now, she is very happy and content. Previously, she lived in other nursing homes and seemed jumpy and agitated in them but all this has gone since she has been here. She is settled and cared for in a fantastic home with a fantastic staff base.

My long term friend could not live in a better care home. Seeing the way he is treated takes away a lot of the hurt.
