Thank you for your kind words, Bill! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying your time with us at Sherrell House. Your feedback means a lot, and we're happy to have you here with us.
I didn't know a service for people with dementia can be this good. Family care is often thought to be the best for our parents in my culture . But this care home does better than I dreamed possible . They allow visits from all relations , provide coffee and tea for guests & most of all. They are...
It's a bit like a 5 star all inclusive hotel but with medical teams ready for any incidents.
One staff member in particular was my contact there , but all the staff are exceptional so thank you .
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that your experience at Sherrell House has been so positive. It's wonderful to know your mother is happy, well cared for, and surrounded by new friends. We'll be sure to pass on your appreciation to the whole team!

The food is lovely, especially the soup each evening - obviously home made.
Both the dining room and lounge are light and airy; and like the rest of the home, clean and tidy.

Mum has now been at Sherrell House for three months. It's quite like a hotel with a large area where residents dine together and a large lounge and outdoor courtyard where they sit during the day. The lifestyle coordinators work very hard to make the resident's lives more colourful with various activities during the week. Every time I visit there is something different going on. They have a regular performer who sings all the old hits live in the courtyard, he gives it 100% and puts a big smile on their faces. My mum hasn't danced for years but while being resident at Sherrell House we had some very precious moments together dancing and having fun. Most notably my mum's 90's birthday was her best ever. The managers and all the carers, kitchen staff, and housekeeping, they all do a fantastic job. Mum and I always go for a little walk around under the oak trees and also a second garden to the rear with seating. Thank you to all of the team at Sherrell House.

Overall, extremely pleased with Sherrell House, just entered the second year of full-time live-in care, this is the third home we tried and Sherrell House is leaps and bounds the best we've seen! Number one in the area for us!

My mother is getting good care from trained staff. We are pleased with her progress since coming into Sherrell House. The one thing which could improve her happiness is to have more interactions with the other residents.

My dad moved into Sherrell House a few months ago. He has been cared for very well and is now looking younger than when he arrived. He took a little while to settle in to this new stage of his life, but was given encouragement by all members of the team, who were most welcoming. He is now very happily involved in the life of the home, liking all members of the team and pretty well every aspect of the community he is now part of. The family are all very positive about the home and the way he is looked after.

Absolutely incredible service. Have had experience with a few different homes in the area, and this stands out above the rest by far! The staff are friendly and warm and always happy to have a quick chat about how things are going, showing care and respect when talking about my grandma.

My mother has been in this care home for around seven years, and we have been satisfied with the way they have attended to her needs. We have always got on very well with the staff, and any problems are quickly rectified. We would recommend this care home to anyone looking for a placement.

My mother settled in well, and I was amazed at how quickly she adapted to her new home. I believe this is due to the excellent support of the staff. She has become more social, enjoying spending time in the lounge and the varied activities, and I have noticed she is now less anxious. She particularly enjoys the live music and parties, and it's wonderful to see her dancing and having a fun time. I receive full communication regarding her health matters and general updates on how she's doing. I am always welcomed when visiting and have been invited to join some activities, including a Christmas lunch; it's wonderful to see residents enjoying themselves. On my visits, I've observed kindness and reassurance from carers and nurses to the residents and taking the opportunity to engage with them for some fun; the activities staff are enthusiastic and encourage participation. I am reassured and confident my mum is receiving all-round excellent care.

The standard of accommodation and food is also excellent. The rooms are cleaned daily, and the food is plentiful, nutritious and cooked on-site.

I would like to thank everyone for all the time and effort that all the staff have shown to my mum. Mum has been a resident with Sherrell House for six months now, and she has settled in lovely. Thank you, everyone, for the care shown.

I am writing to say how impressed I have been with the care and support provided for my husband. I would very much like to express my gratitude to the care home manager for her sympathetic approach. We were made to feel very welcome and supported by her. The staff are friendly and helpful.

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!
