It's the perfect place for a short respite stay as well as very specialist care. It's Garden Suite brings to life Morris Care's Cedar Philosophy, a pioneering approach to dementia care.

The 18th-century hall has been sympathetically restored and redeveloped to create luxuriously appointed bedrooms all with en-suite facilities and state of the art equipment. The bedrooms are spacious and many overlook the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

Social wellbeing plays a huge part in the care provided at Stretton Hall. Its enthusiastic and committed social life coordinator, dedicates time to ensuring residents and visitors have a diverse and exciting activity schedule to enjoy.

Review from J G (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted to Stretton Hall from the hospital for end of life care in December 2020. Because of Covid, the family had not been able to visit the home before she became a resident, or visit her in person for several months afterwards, but the staff were always so helpful and kept us informed
at all times. When we were eventually able to see Mum, we were very impressed by the cleanliness, atmosphere and obvious dedication and friendliness of all the staff.
Mum passed away in July, and the care she received was second to none. She was treated with respect, dignity and compassion at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stretton Hall to anyone looking for first-class care.
Reply from Vanessa Davies, Head of Operations at Stretton Hall Nursing Home

Please accept our sincere condolences. We are so pleased to hear that you feel Stretton cared for your mum so well, particularly given that you were unable to visit until more recently. Thank you for taking the time to review the service; we really do appreciate it.

After making the difficult decision to move my aunt into Stretton Hall Care Home, we have been comforted by the level of support and care she has received. Initially, for respite care, but more recently, in the Garden Suite, we cannot fault the commitment of all the staff under the leadership of the
manager to the wellbeing of all residents. The care home has been very understanding of our situation, living several hours away from Stretton, which made visiting even more difficult during COVID times. They have ensured the home was COVID-secure whilst the care and support staff work tirelessly to maintain contact between my aunt and members of her family through facilitated phone and video calls. Attention is taken in tailoring the service provided to both residents and their families alike. We are so pleased and feel blessed that my aunt can remain in the village she has lived in all her life and receive the care and support she deserves and requires as her health fades.
Thank you to everyone at Stretton Hall.

Such a happy home. Beautiful building, well-kept gardens, delightful staff, and a caring environment. It is always a pleasure to pull up outside Stretton Hall; there is an atmosphere of calm, of interest, of attention to detail, and mostly, being one big family.

She received excellent care and understanding at Stretton Hall. We feel all her needs are met thanks to all the hard-working staff. We couldn't wish for a better place for her respite. She looks forward to coming to every visit and comes home in a happy mood and can't wait to tell us all about her stay.
All her personal hygiene and support needs are met. We would highly recommend Stretton Hall.

I still cannot thank the group and Stretton Hall enough for their care of looking after mother. Now I am visiting more times each week since opening back up, Mum is looking amazing. She is so happy. She loves all the staff. They work really hard taking good care of Mum; they will sit with her until
she has eaten all foods and drinks; they have and spent time with Mum. Only for these lovely staff, I am sure Mum would not be with us today. They are very caring and absolutely fantastic staff. Highly recommend Stretton Hall. Thank you all so much.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review Stretton Hall, and what a lovely review it is. It has been a very difficult 18 months, especially for older people living in care homes; it's great to welcome people back into our homes and even better when our visitors see how well cared for their loved ones are.

We were welcomed in at short notice with end of life care, the staff are professional and friendly. Especially one member of staff whose caring and welcoming professionalism made the family feel at ease. We didn’t see much of the facility’s however the care towards my mother was of a high standard,
they were open and honest with all of the family and answer any questions we had. Thank you to all the staff that made a difficult time bearable.

Review from John C (Husband of Resident) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On 12th February, my son and I were at the bedside of my wife as she slipped peacefully away from a deep sleep.
She was in her 17th year of enduring Altzheimers, 15 of which was with my and our families care.
Finding and being accepted by Stretton Hall proved to be ideal for my wife.
I have nothing
but praise for the management, and especially the staff of the Garden Suite during her approx 2 and 1/2 years spent at Stretton Hall.
Until the arrival of Covid 19, the family were allowed 24/7 access to visit my wife and their Mother.
The garden suite staff were unbelievably caring and always available to assist with her care. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
The meals were of a high order, (thanks to the chef), fresh and more than sufficient, liquids and treat always available.
The bedrooms were clean, tidy, fresh linen etc.
I remember saying once that Stretton Hall was more like an extremely good Hotel... I have no reason to remove that remark.
Dignity was ever-present.

Thank you for taking the time to review Stretton Hall and the care that they provided for your loved one. It has been a very difficult time for everyone living in and having someone living in a care home, so it is pleasing to see that you felt supported and that your loved one passed away peacefully.

It is impossible to write a fully informed review as the pandemic restrictions prevent access and my wife is unable to communicate clearly. I can only mark ratings using impressions I have formed from helpful and considerate conversations with staff members.

My husband has been a resident at Stretton Hall for nearly five years. His dementia has become increasingly worse, but the care and patience of all the staff have been constant despite his sometimes uncooperative behaviour. All his needs are taken care of with sympathy. He appears to be happy and settled
which is a comfort to me.

I was immediately struck by they constantly smiling staff who are obviously very happy working here. The care is brilliant and the nurses keep me informed regularly of any changes/incidents however slight. Doctor visits weekly and there is a comprehensive activities program. The staff try to involve
as many residents as possible in the activities and no one is left out.
I would definitely recommend Stretton Hall to anyone wishing a relative to be cared for with no worries here.

I have been so impressed by Stretton Hall. My father is being cared for by excellent and kind staff. I regard the home as having created a sense of community, which my father quickly belonged to. There is also a lovely warm culture pervading the home - all staff treat residents, family and other visitors
with kindness, respect and warmth. For us, we have peace of mind that my father is being looked after and we are kept informed.

Since moving to Stretton Hall three months ago, my aunt, who suffers from cancer and dementia, has received excellent care. Staff/patient ratio is good - there is always a nurse on hand. The staff are accessible, friendly and dedicated to the care of the residents. Unlike her previous nursing home,
where she was left in bed alone all day, the staff go to some effort to get her up and bring her down to the dining room for lunch (food always looks appetising and there's a good choice). Her communication/cognitive function is limited but she still is involved in activities with other residents, taken to sit in the garden on a fine day. The rooms - with good sized en-suite bathrooms - are bright and comfortable with lovely views over the Stretton Hills.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.729)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.729) out of 10 for Stretton Hall Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.729 for Stretton Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 255 Ratings = 4.729
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stretton Hall Nursing Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
