Shoemaker Place is the best home my husband has been a resident (he has spent a few respite admissions at various homes). I find the home very modern, very clean. Bedroom very nice and wet room great. My husband has been a resident for over a year now. I and the family are very happy with his care and everything. Sometimes food portions a little too much. Thanks.

Our mother came to Shoemakers about 5 months ago, my mother has settled down really well, this is thanks to the amazing staff who treat her with care and dignity when we visit Dad worrys less now he has help with safety and to our satisfaction the deputy visited mum in her previous home and told us how mum would be treated, this has been kept to and we are very happy
With mixed dementia, my mother was less and less safe living alone. She moved into Shoemaker Place one month ago and I am so happy to know that she is safe, respected and entertained. The staff and facilities are excellent.

Mum moved from a previous care home which was akin to a cheap B&B compared to Shoemakers 4/5 star hotel feel. Always a cheery welcome from every member of staff, many who know me and my wife by name. All staff make mum feel very comfortable and are very encouraging to ensure she eats properly, joins in with other residents and spends as much time as possible in the residents lounge and not isolating in her room. It's all so reassuring to me.
Thank you for your kind words. We're so happy that your Mum has settled in so well and that you've noticed such a positive difference. It truly means the world to us to know that our efforts to create a welcoming and comfortable environment are making such a positive impact on both your mum and your family.
I am very happy with the way Joan is being looked after. The staff seem very friendly and efficient. Unfortunately I cannot mark "activities" higher because Joan is unable to participate in any of them. Also food is difficult to assess because she can hardly eat anything. It is a pity that Joan...
I am very happy with the way Joan is being looked after. The staff seem very friendly and efficient. Unfortunately I cannot mark "activities" higher because Joan is unable to participate in any of them. Also food is difficult to assess because she can hardly eat anything. It is a pity that Joan cannot be raised up on a hoist so she can meet people. Christmas is going to be a very sad time for her.
Thank you for your review, and I hope that now that your wife has been with us for a couple of weeks, you are pleased with the progress we have made. She has been able to spend more time out of bed for the first time in several weeks, and has been engaged with some of the other residents and the...
Thank you for your review, and I hope that now that your wife has been with us for a couple of weeks, you are pleased with the progress we have made. She has been able to spend more time out of bed for the first time in several weeks, and has been engaged with some of the other residents and the activities that have been going on. We have further ambition to support her to access the church service in the home in the next couple of months. Thank you again.
Mum has settled well at Shoemaker Place, and the staff have gone out of their way to ensure her needs are met. They also show they want her to be comfortable and happy in her new home. She enjoys the activities, and the staff do well making sure they help and make allowances for her deteriorating...
She seems very contented.
Thank you for your positive feedback, I am pleased that mum is settling well at Shoemaker and she is enjoying joining the other residents for the daily activity.

Shoemaker Place is a very attractive and modern home. The staff came to visit my mum at home first so that they were prepared for her needs. The room was just like a 5* hotel and the food was top quality. She enjoyed her stay and the attention of the very friendly and professional staff. She will definitely stay there again for her next respite care.
Thank you for your feedback, I am so pleased mum enjoyed her stay with us and look forward to welcoming her back again for future respite stays.
We used Shoemaker for respite for my mother. The service was friendly, calm and supportive. I felt the level of care was excellent. They communicate well with family. We would use again.

Thank you for your positive feedback following your mother's respite stay at Shoemaker. I will pass onto the staff team your comments. We look forward to welcoming you back to Shoemaker for any future respite stays.
Lovely atmosphere, I love how the staff know all of the residents. My mum seems happy and settled which is so good to see. The team are approachable and go above and beyond for everyone. Thank you for making a difficult time easier.

Thank you Jackie for your kind words. I am so happy you found the review beneficial and Mum is settling at Shoemaker Place. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit and no doubt at our next event.
My ife has been a resident for 3 weeks, during that time she has always received excellent care emanating from the manager, admin staff through to the care workers. There is always a smile and offers of help or assistance.

Mum has been resident now for 8 months. Her dementia is such that she struggles to communicate verbally more than a yes or no, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have opinions or emotions. The core caring team have never been anything but fantastic in engaging and communicating with her, maintaining...
They have similarly been very welcoming to and caring of my father who is not resident but calls in most days to spend time.
The current management team are fantastic. Proactive, visible, engaged, taking and acting on feedback. Communicating. Documenting and reviewing regularly both in monthly meetings for all relatives of residents and private reviews to discuss individual residents needs. Please never leave!!
I was always content we chose this home for mum but now I couldn't imagine moving her anywhere else for better care because it's just not possible.
This is my second review and I am giving it now as I have seen vast improvements since a new management team have taken over. The day to day care of my mother is, as before, without fault. The manager has instigated a lot of new ideas, one of which is regular meetings with relatives of the...
The only negative I have at the moment concerns the catering which my mother often complains about but there is going to be a tasting session of the meal selection provided and then i will have a better idea of the quality of the food rather than rely on mother's taste as all tastes are different.
Today i have a meeting with the manager to discuss my mother's medical needs which is something that has never been offered before and is most welcome so that i know that she is getting the care that she needs.
Keep up the great work that you are doing.
Thank You.
Thanks for sharing your comments once again. We appreciate your kind words and positive comments regarding the changes at Shoemaker Place. I will be sure to share these with our whole team. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Shoemaker.

There is now a new management team in place who are very positive and proactive and have already introduced some new practices.
As a relative, I feel much more included.
All the staff are extremely caring, friendly, and supportive.
There was a lovely atmosphere over Christmas with a lot of hard work put in to include residents and relatives.
I look forward to seeing all the new practices and ideas put in place.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to complete this review, which I will be sure to share with the whole team. It was lovely having you with us over the festive period, and I hope you enjoyed your Christmas lunch with your Mum at Shoemaker Place. I look forward to catching up with you again at our upcoming relatives meeting later this week.

I'd like to see the garden better tended, we used to enjoy visiting gardens and seeing colourful and attractive planting. This garden has little interest.

Mother appears well cared for, secure, well fed, and most importantly happy and content.
The activities have been especially helpful with her integration into this caring community.
