Thank you so much for taking the time to review our care home. Your kind words are much appreciated.
We would like a morning cup of tea between 6am - 8am every morning please. lately tea has been served @ 11am. The meals have gone down hill, they are not proper meals. eg. chicken wings, burgers. Spanish chicken etc. Larger Fish & chips portions would be nice. Having 4 chips is not sufficient.

Our mother first came to Sherrell House for a respite period following an injury. She received such wonderful care and attention, that the term was extended to a trial period. She continued to thrive and eventually we realised that this should become a permanent place of residence for her. The care she received was excellent and her accommodation and communal facilities were outstanding. Two years on and our opinion is still the same. Whilst mum's illness has progressed, her care has increased and she still manages to take part in the activities, aided. All the staff are truly wonderful and caring and do the best they can for all their residents. It really is a wonderful home and we know we are very lucky to have found it. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words & sharing mum's experience at Sherrell House. We are very pleased to hear how well she has settled in and to know you are happy with the care provided to her!

My Mum came to Sherrell House after being confused, frightened and lonely at home following the death of my father. She was instantly greeted by a friendly team and has been treated with care, warmth, dignity and respect from day one.
Mum enjoys all the activities put on for the residents and has blossomed since being there, her confidence has grown and while she still struggles with dementia she no longer feels like the odd one out, she has made lovely friends to sit and chat with and all the nurses are proactive in making sure residents are happy.
The cleanliness of the home is outstanding, every area of the home is kept spotlessly clean and fresh.
It's a blessing to know Mum is safe, happy and well looked after.
Thank you again for your trust and support. It is a privilege to care for your Mum and to be part of her journey.

residents, singing and clapping to an amazing singer. The whole afternoon was so much fun for everyone.
It was great to be part of this event. We support events when we can to support the staff as they do so much for everyone.
It was followed by sitting and chatting with residents and their families and tasting amazing cakes along with a cuppa.
My sister really enjoyed herself and chatted with families there. They asked her if she was happy at Sherrell House. She replied "I would recommend this place to anyone and the staff are so lovely" A compliment to Sherrell House indeed.
It's so reassuring my sister is safe and cared for to such a high standard.
Further more the staff create a family atmosphere and they include us to be part of it. Amazing!

My father was moved from hospital to Sherrall House and sadly passed away a week later with his family at his side. During my father's time at Sherrall House all his needs were constantly met, he was treated with compassion, respect and dignity until the very end.
All the staff at Sherrall House took so much time to support our family too while they were looking after my father. Nothing was never a problem for the outstanding staff who work incredibly hard.
Jane, The Home Manager has a wonderful home which she should be proud of and an amazing team who truly care for their residents and families.

I am a qualified nurse and midwife with additional qualifications in psychiatric and community nursing, giving me a broad and well-rounded clinical background. Before working in elderly care, I gained extensive experience in Intensive Care, specialising in cardiac care, and I also hold a qualification in nutrition management, which supports a holistic approach to residents’ health and well-being.
Caring for older people is something I am deeply passionate about. Every resident has a life story that deserves to be respected and honoured, and I strongly believe they should always be treated with kindness, dignity, compassion, and the highest standard of care.
I chose to join the Sherrell House team because of its strong reputation for delivering high-quality, person-centred care and the commitment shown by its compassionate and dedicated team.
Outside of work, music has always been a big part of my life. I used to play both the piano and saxophone, and although it has been a while, my love of music remains. I also enjoy cooking and like to think I can occasionally channel my inner Michelin-star chef!
