My mother in law suffers from dementia so any change of routine caused her to be extremely anxious. A measure of the effectiveness of Shire Hall was that they did everything to help her settle as quickly as possible. She is now contented and happy which reflects the work the staff did, and do on an ongoing basis.
Having used Shire Hall previously for a relative, I have no hesitation in allowing my mother to be cared for in this home. It is a lovely environment but is sufficiently flexible to each individual's needs; dietary, physical and mental needs.

Whenever, and it's very often, I have dealings with any member of your staff, I'm left with the definite impression that Shire Hall is an excellent care home.
In fact, an establishment which scores ten out of ten in every possible department.
Constant standards of care, are of the highest order in a difficult situation. The care my brother receives is a true blessing. My thanks to all concerned.

visiting a relative in a care home setting is always quite a stressful occasion. From the moment you walk in Shire Hall Care Home you are welcomed by friendly staff who instantly put you at ease. They are fully supportive and always appears to have time to listen to anything even if they are really busy. Seeing my nans face lights up when she sees certain carers shows that she is well looked after and treated with respect and dignity.

He does not always cooperate when carers are washing and shaving him etc. due to his condition. However, they are unfailingly kind and patient. the atmosphere is cheerful and caring at all times.
The carers are very helpful to users and relatives. They are open to suggestions and kind to users. I have never seen impatience or heard a raised voice in the most trying of circumstances.

I have been on a visit with my wife to Shire Hall today and found all the staff helpful and caring. As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted with a smile. My mother in law is happy and content in this home after being in other homes in Cardiff. This is by far the best.

Shire Hall Care Home is a wonderful and welcoming place. Very warm and clean social areas and the staff are second to none. Next to being at home, I don't think Mum could be in a better place.

I have been a resident at Shire Hall for 15 months. The care I have received in that time has been excellent. I had been hospitalised for 13 weeks with septicemia, I couldn't talk, lost 18lbs in weight but since being at Shire Hall, I communicate and make myself understood and I'm eating really well. The staff are so attentive to residents needs and offer support to me when times are difficult. I am always made to feel welcome from the receptionist, the staff in the kitchen and cleaning staff. All in all Shire Hall is a very 'Happy Home' and have made this difficult time so much easier. Thank you.
Hospitality is excellent- made to feel welcome by all the staff.
